That might be the case for many C++ libaries, but we simply have higher
standards.  An ABI break is an ABI break and at least calls for a SO
number bump.  However we try not to do this because that essentially
means that we need to maintain two branches.

Okay; I better leave the decision on the C++ API to Andre.

Please just write it into the commit message.  In a few years we may
need to investigate why and where this option is used.
