I can't quite follow what is going on here. If you add a return value and leave the others the same, possibly the major version could be left the same. There are only two programs, natd and ppp which use the library, so compatibility could be checked fairly easily. As far as what to do, I leave it to the best judgment of Eivind and Brian (and Ari if he has an opinion on the matter), all of whom are more experienced programmers than I am.
