Choose them. Make sure that the major number reflects the ABI version.
Increase the minor version every time the code changes, and increase
the major number when the interface (public definitions) change.
A simple and probably not fully correct way of checking for ABI changes
is to compare the public .h files; if they have changed, th ABI has
probably changed, and vice versa.
Of course, if upstream provides you with shared object versions, use them.

Use libtool. Note that .la is not required.
