Yes, there is more code that should go into t4k_common (convert_utf,
linebreak, scandir/alphasort, off the top of my head).  When we move
this out of tuxmath, the corresponding version of t4k_common will be
needed.  Older versions of tuxmath ought to build with newer versions
of t4k_common, but the reverse won't be true.  I think we can keep
this straight if we follow the libtool version numbering scheme:

Major number - changes when library removes part of interface (breaks
backward compatibility)
Minor number - changes when additional features added, nothing removed
(still compatible)
Micro number - changes when implementation only changed, same interface.

(at least that's how I understand it)
