This is deliberately the major release number.

This is wrong.

R7.7 is the X11 rollup release number (informally called a "katamari"), inherited from the days when X11 was distributed as a monolithic source tree.

This is not the libX11 version number.

If I was going to change this, I'd probably just remove it all, since X11 development velocity is slow enough these days that it doesn't really communicate much useful information.
