FWIW I’m in favor of sticking with the documented Autoconf approach, which is to set the version number in configure.ac. Guile has GUILE-VERSION [0], which gathers all sorts of versioning info, including the version number and the SONAMEs. But here, since all we have is the version number, I think that keeping the info in configure.ac is fine. Thanks, Ludo’. [0] http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guile.git/tree/GUILE-VERSION
