Ok, I see how this is a problem.  Should I revert the change ?  If so,
are we then stuck with the library being called libeel.so.0 for ever ? 
Or do we make the shared library version number something different than
the release number ?  Something like libeel.0.x.y, and we increment the
x.y numbers ?

Is the binary compat breakage a big deal, since only Nautilus uses Eel ?
