I think we should tie the schema version to the major version number -
so if we change the schema, we also bump the major version. That way
we just need to represent the schema version with a single integer.

I suppose we could tie it to the major.minor version - so 3.0.x ==
300, 3.1.x == 301, 4.0 == 400 and so on. That at least means we could
change the schema in a minor release (which in pgAdmin/PostgreSQL
aren't actually that minor usually!). The downside of this scheme is
that it will be harder to set the macro in cmake.

Thats the idea :-)
