Does anyone on this list think they understand libtool?

I've been talking to someone using Debian who is trying
to figure out why Debian produces a libarchive.so.1.2.36
and FreeBSD produces a libarchive.so.3 from the exact
same build system.

The discussion of version numbering in "info libtool"
is quite baffling.
