Yes, I've realized that that's the problem. I'm building libreadline
from bash's source, so assumed that the version should be 2.1. After
all, the library's version is 2.1.
I've written to Chet Ramey pointing out that he chose to name the
library 2.1, have rl_library_version return "2.1", but use an soname
of 3. I asked him which soname we should use. He's convalescing from
back surgery and expects to return to reading email on 1/26.
Hopefully he'll find the time to reply. I'll abide by his wishes.
