I do not disagree with making gputils 1.0 at this point, but I for
one don't consider 0.15 vs. 1.0 to be a "big" level change. A lot
of code is still the same. (That is not a bad thing.)

I hope it is clear that "big" is subjective. So the numbers really
can't succeed in accomplishing what you and Alain suggest. I sure
wish it were that simple, but I don't think it is.
