Version increments are informal. I usually bump the minor version number in 
configure.ac when I add something non-trivial that should go out to users 
within reasonable time. We should tag all versions in CVS as well of course, 
but it's sometimes easy to overlook.

It's not always trivial for persons other than the one who bumps the version 
number to tag releases (we might end up with inconsistencies), so please 
don't.

Cheers,
Andreas.
