Personally I think automatically updating the version numbers is as
bad as not doing it at all - it misses the point.

The version numbers in shared library filenames denote binary
compatibilty, if the /public/ API changes then the version number
really must be incremented.

If the version increments without any associated API changes then it's
just a PITA for developers and products linking to the PostgreSQL
libraries! It forces recompilation when there is not really a need.
