Obviously you're right. ;-)

But I'd really like to have a more fine-grained versioning. How
about:

C_API_VENDOR_NAME
C_API_VENDOR_VERSION

Since the OpenLDAP 2 API seems to be the only one coming with such
constants we have no problems following their naming and versioning
scheme and setting values to reasonable defaults in case of OpenLDAP
1.

Ciao, Michael.
