We don't have to.  It would just make things clearer to have all
versioned symbol libraries with the same version number since
they shouldn't ever have to be bumped again.  Solaris has all
their libraries at .1.  We've already used .1, but .0 has never
been used.  obrien suggested it, and it seems to make sense
to me.
