Unless I am missing something (which is quite possible) once you make  
this change, one version or the other is going to have to change the  
name of it's header, pkgconfig, and cmake files, and any user of that  
version will also have to adapt.  It's not just keeping the .so and  
version numbers different.  I agree the necessary changes are not  
difficult - it is just important that the change is made clear, so  
anyone who uses that version knows about the change.
