[OTR-dev] libotr major version bump?

Was this really necessary?  Upgrading to 3.1.0 from 3.0.0 went from 2.0
to 3.0 in ELF shlib numbering, and I see nothing in NEWS that indicates
why - just things that look like they might have new calls, vs changing
the signature of existing calls.  So the gaim-otr for gaim 1.5 was
broken by this.  NEWS really should say clearly which procedures had an
interface change, so that users of the library can update their code.

Rebuilding gaim-otr seems to fix the problem, though, so there seems not
to have been an API change.
