I think that the library version is a problem, but we shouldn't care
about it until 1.0 is released. From that point on I suggest to link
against libpostgis.1 that should be a link to the actual library, i.e.
libpostgis-1.0.3. Then change the major number only on binary incompatible
versions or (better) for releases with new features. The minor number
could be used for bug fixing.
I believe that this is the normal rule for libraries.
Bye,
Giuseppe
