Thank you for your response!!!

I reread the libtool versioning system, and it looks like I got it wrong.
It looks like you already doing what I request, but I did not put the
numbers right.

current = newest
age = current - oldest

dll_suffix = current - age = oldest

I am truly sorry... I did not understand that I have to calculate the
age delta my-self when producing libtool version, and age is not the
oldest.

Thank you,
Alon.
