fwiw that's what I do for my packages, I put comments in configure.in
that summarize the libtool manual:

dnl libtool versioning for libwnck

dnl increment if the interface has additions, changes, removals.
LIBWNCK_CURRENT=9

dnl increment any time the source changes; set to
dnl  0 if you increment CURRENT
LIBWNCK_REVISION=0

dnl increment if any interfaces have been added; set to 0
dnl  if any interfaces have been removed. removal has
dnl  precedence over adding, so set to 0 if both happened.
LIBWNCK_AGE=5

AC_SUBST(LIBWNCK_CURRENT)
AC_SUBST(LIBWNCK_REVISION)
AC_SUBST(LIBWNCK_AGE)

That's pretty simple IMO.
