Interestingly the source code itself contains a 0.1 version identifier.
Thus the 0.0.0.070518 version just to be able to raise it if the need arrises
without using an epoch. (even if epoch is not as bad as some people claim it to
be...)

Yeah. That is a more acceptable reason than 1.

Thus I'd see on problem to possible change the version id, but this shouldn't
prevent a review and could be changed during import anyway.

I concur with that. The current user of this library is Mesa. It could
potentially be the case that another piece of software is linking directly
against the library, but I've not known of any such program.

If this should be the case, one could always consider hacking in a soname
later.
