Possibly, the last line could equally be:

current_version 3.2.15
That would have the same effect on Darwin, if applied consistently.
The encoded current_version is for informational purposes only,
nothing uses it, compatibility_version is used by dyld (darwin's
dynamic linker) when loading libraries. It checks that the library
version it loaded has a compatibility_version greater than or equal
to the one it saw when it was created by the static linker.
On second thoughts, perhaps I do get it. Or maybe it is to late at
night, and it will make sense in the morning.
