Hmm ... our model for the in-core extensions has always been that you
don't need a new upgrade script unless the SQL declarations change.

Admittedly, that means that the script version number isn't a real
helpful guide to which version of the .so you're dealing with.
We expect the .so's own minor version number to suffice for that,
but I realize that that might not be the most user-friendly answer.
