My mistake. I was very surprised a package with version 3.2.4 was
still respecting it's very first ABI version, very impressive.

Anyway my point is that any other SOVERSION mechanim in cmake would be
ok with me. My feeling is that maintaining two build systems is very
difficult, and error prone (and duplicates work), so again my feeling
is that there is a high chance the autotools may disappear at some
point. But again this is just a feeling and the reason why I would
like to keep the cmake build system around (not to mention having
cmake greatly ease my work).
