Haven't several functions been removed from -CURRENT version of libm 
recently? IMHO this provides sufficient reason for version bump. 
Actually I think it makes sense to bump all libraries automatically when 
-CURRENT goes one major number up. There is just no much sense in 
preserving partial compatibility.
