In the even-numbered releases (1.0, 1.2, and so on) the header files will
be, to the extent possible*, untouched.  This provides DLL compatibilty.

=46rom one even release to the next one (like upcoming 1.0 to 1.2) there are
going to be API changes.  Once 1.1 gells and becomes 1.2, I will then try
and keep stuff the same for subsequent bug-fix updates.
