So you want to just bump the version everytime a change happens in HEAD?  That 
seems to contradict your earlier changes as you are now saying use 1.1 for 
fts(3), etc.  Also since you mentioned MFC'ing one ABI (say 1.5) but not 
others (1.2-1.4), that implies each change in HEAD has its own first-level 
version?
