I'll note that this issue was the only incompatibility with automake 1.4
in libtool.  Is there some reason not to provide compatibility back with 
this version?  I continue to struggle with versioning issues in automake 
and have frozen at version 1.4 until I see better backward/forward 
compatibility in that project.  But, as that fix is separable from the 
-version-number flag, I'll leave it out for now.

Thanks for your comments,
