I won't get into a discussion as to what the ports mechanism is
supposed to do.  There are a lot of things I would like it to do but
we're perpetually short of manpower. :)

 * Finally, the version number in the Makefile kept the same shared library 
 * version number (0.18) because the it is compatible with the previous
 * release, so there's no need to change it.  The program still builds
 * thinking its version 0.19.

Which is exactly how it should be.  I commend you for understanding
what many software authors don't.
