The people who have installed the dev snapshot should expect these
things to happen :-) I don't particularly care about those. I do care
about the people who have installed previous versions. The client
library have been available for a long time with this version numbering
scheme.

My vote is for sticking witht he 7.5.x etc version numbering for the
win32 binaries. I think it's easiest, and that's what win32 programs
generally do. And we can then continue the practice of not bumping
version numbers of the unix shared libs until such a time we might want
to change that behaviour (it might not even be necessary ever..).
