* Prior to FFmpeg 3.2 point releases did not change any lib version number to
* avoid aliassing different git master checkouts.
* Starting with FFmpeg 3.2, the released library versions will occupy
* a separate MAJOR.MINOR that is not used on the master development branch.
* That is if we branch a release of master 55.10.123 we will bump to 55.11.100
* for the release and master will continue at 55.12.100 after it. Each new
* point release will then bump the MICRO improving the usefulness of the lib
* versions.
