Strictly speaking, it's platform-dependent, but our shared library code
plays a bit of abuse with it.  What it comes down to is:

If you change or remove an interface, increment the major version number.
If you add an interface, increment the minor version number.  If you did
neither but changed the source code at all, increment the third version
number, if we had one.

To be thoroughly amused, read the libtool source.  Grep for 'version_type'.
