Andreas,

This is because the svn versioning information for shared libraries is
not normally "set" until release time (ie. 1.6.0) so it is basically just
a clone of what it was for 1.5.0 release time.

I could bump the version now in svn but I will almost certainly forget
I did so at 1.6.0 release and bump it again.  I suppose version inflation
isn't really a terrible thing.  I'll go ahead and do that.

Best regards,
