Oops.  They apparently ship it as version 1.4.  Note that this number is 
incompatible with the libtool --version-info numbering scheme (which would 
make this produce different version numbers on BSD and Linux), so you'll 
want to use the libtool 1.5 --version-number scheme instead.

I'd set the version number to 1.4.1.
