Exiv2 and it's interface are still unstable. Thus the 0.x version number 
and the use of the simple library versioning mechanism. The API/ABI 
change with every version, although sometimes in subtle ways (which is 
worse); the current versioning system makes this very clear. The other 
versioning system is only meaningful if API/ABI are reasonably stable. 
Exiv2 will get there too.

For an example of a subtle API change see
