Well, if something built against 1.0.4 can (even in corner cases)
malfunction with 1.1.1, then yes, it must be 2:1:0. This holds true to
the soname of the C++ libs too if changes on the underlying C libraries are
somehow exported through the C++ ones.
If stuff built against the old lib won't work with the new lib:
increment soname and zero age ("backward incompatible change")
ELSE If stuff built against the new lib won't work with the old lib:
increment both soname and age ("forward compatible change")
ELSE:
leave the soname alone
Simpler said than done, I know :(
