Sure, but the 1.5.X releases were just beta releases and shouldn't
have been used publically, and so we don't really make any guarantees
wrt sonames. i.e. we may break binary compatibility without bumping
the sonames at times, etc.
The reason for the decrement is that Thien-Thi asked that I add some
(libtool) "AGE" to the libraries and that seemed reasonable so I did.
This decremented the major number.
