Comment:

 I know we said only bug fixes in 2.2 after feature freeze call, but I
 proclaim this to be a bug and not only do I want patch level
 compatibility, I want the name to be consistent with the rest of PostGIS
 proper (which means no micro taked on to the end of the .so/.dll file).
 Actually that part is more important to me.

 First of all, now that I've got this extra liblwgeom*.dll following me
 around in 2.2 (and my shp2pgsql-qui, shp2pgsql, pgsql2shp now depend on
 it), to add insult to injury, it has the nerve to tack on a micro on the
 name so it's liblwgeom-2.2.0dev.dll in 2.2.0dev.  This was not the case in
 2.1 for me.  So this is a PITA for (at least for windows distribution, I
 imagine for others as well) since old cruft is left behind when people
 upgrade to a micro.  If liblwgeom is going to be shared, then its got to
 have the same version .so/dll name as PostGIS proper (which means NO
 .micro at the end)
