No problem.

Sure it does.

You are confusing the *library* version with the *interface*  
version.  C:R:A
allows a developer to describe the interface version and  
compatibility details
for their library.  The soname and filename of the eventual library  
is an
implementation detail that depends how *library* versions work on the
particular OS you build on -- and will be different on Linux vs  
Windows vs
AIX vs HPUX etc

Cheers,
        Gary
