Under Linux, the shared library has the same version number as 1.4.0,
libgeotiff.so.2.1.0.  Is this OK?  (This is with a cmake build.)

Also I find it confusing that cmake says

set (GeoTIFF_VERSION_MAJOR 2)
set (GeoTIFF_VERSION_MINOR 1)
set (GeoTIFF_VERSION_RELEASE 0)

while the packages says 1.4.0.  I presume that the two versions became
distinct because the so version number had to skip ahead?

If possible, I recommend that libgeotiff be "branded" with a unique
version number that tracks its releases, 1.4.1, in this case.  The so
number should be tracked separately.

Finally, I can supply a patch to get cmake to generate a "config-style"
find package script.  I'll need a couple of days to do this (and I would
need to know which the version number find_package should use).  It's
fine if this doesn't make it in in time for the 1.4.1 release.
