 * I still have libg++ and libforms on my list of things to change (I think
 * libncurses was done yesterday).

I already saw commit messages for libg++ and libncurses' version
number changes. libforms doesn't seem to be used for any of the ports
so it doesn't really matter to me when you fix it.

 * Should we bump the version number _every_ time the interface is changed
 * or extended?  This would be easiest to remember to do, but would result
 * in many more minor version numbers and recompiling.  Bumping the major
 * number is more important.  It's not clear how 2.0 packages work with
 * the current libg++ (gnuregexp was removed).

I think we should change the number the first time the interface is
changed after a release, and keep it that way until the next release.
(No I don't think we should change the number EVERY time something is
changed, some incompatibilities among -currents are inevitable
anyway.)  Then the person changing something that requires a version
bump can just look at the commit logs to determine what to do.
