Direct upstream to read
info libtool 'Versioning'
it describes the issues of binary compatibility and versionning quite 
precisely.

The following are hints based on how it implemented in some packages.
In configure.in add something along (change DAPLIB with something 
appropriate), one for each library:

DAPLIB_CURRENT=5
DAPLIB_AGE=0
DAPLIB_REVISION=0
AC_SUBST(DAPLIB_CURRENT)
AC_SUBST(DAPLIB_AGE)
AC_SUBST(DAPLIB_REVISION)

LIBDAP_VERSION="$DAPLIB_CURRENT:$DAPLIB_REVISION:$DAPLIB_AGE"
AC_SUBST(LIBDAP_VERSION)

And in the Makefile -release $(VERSION) is replaced with 
-version-info $(LIBDAP_VERSION). 

Or something along those directions.
