No correlation can be assumed, but I suspect we'll go to libssh2 1.4.x
or even 2.x.y from 1.2.x to reflect that we've done major changes.

You should not use the libssh2 release version number for the library
version on VMS -- please compute the shared library version from the
'-version-info 1:1:0' information in src/Makefile.am. The release
version number of libssh2 has nothing to do with shared library
versioning, strictly speaking. See the comments in src/Makefile.am for
more background, or read the GNU Libtool manual for the entire story.
