I just dropped the ant file from CVS, that should fix the ambiguity. :-)

It currently is in machine readable form (org/postgis/Version.java), and
 "make versions" spits out this information, too. But I admit that
including this information in humal readalbe version would be of some help.

Strk, what do you think about extracting the following lines from
lwgeom/Makefile into a toplevel Version.in that can be included from
jdbc as well:

SO_MAJOR_VERSION=1
SO_MINOR_VERSION=0
SO_MICRO_VERSION=0RC3
SCRIPTS_VERSION=0.2.0

I think it does make sense to have separate JDBC_*_VERSION variables,
but having them all in a common place will ease the release process and
avoids getting "out of sync" by forgetting one place. I'll prepare a
patch and post it here, so we can discuss it further.
