question on dll versioning

Hi,
just noted on latest upstream glpk that version bumped from

   libglpk_la_LDFLAGS = -version-info 32:0:32
to
   libglpk_la_LDFLAGS = -version-info 33:0:0

This of course will bump the shared lib from
   /usr/bin/cygglpk-0.dll
to
   /usr/bin/cygglpk-33.dll

Question :
are we following
 
http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/Updating-version-info.html 


or instead
   http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/versioning.html

I had the impression that the second was preferred, giving:

   libglpk_la_LDFLAGS = -version-info 33:0:32
   /usr/bin/cygglpk-1.dll

but I could have misunderstood the practice

Regards
Marco
