We need a soname bump and one point anyway to address the symbol 
collisions between json-c, json-glib, and jansson.  The json-c/json-glib 
collisions actually materialize in existing binaries.  Removing some 
symbols seems kind of unavoidable, but it is obviously best to bundle 
all this into a single soname bump.
