 * We change the major and minor versions in accordance with a.out naming 
 * policy, not simply to match the version number of the particular 
 * package (which normally doesn't).

Yes.  See the handbook's "policy" section for more detail.

 * In this case, it means that the library has undergone one non-backwards
 * -compatible change (1.x to 2.1) and one backwards-compatible change 
 * (2.1 to 2.2).

Two.  The first 2.X version is 2.0. :)

Actually, I believe we bumped all libraries to 2.0 when we released
FreeBSD 2.0R, which was based on a different codebase from 1.*.
