I'm still unsure about versioning of the C library.
Having added new functions we should increment MINOR.

Could you check what happens using:
 CAPI_INTERFACE_CURRENT=2
 CAPI_INTERFACE_REVISION=0
 CAPI_INTERFACE_AGE=1
?

It should produce (on Linux): libgeos_c.so.1.1.0

SONAME should be libgeos_c.so.1 so this shouldn't represent
a binary incompatibility. At least it is on my system
(GNU/Linux)

readelf -a <path_to>/libgeos_c.so | grep -i SONAME

--strk;
