I think you should add a 'grays_raster_render' function to 2.0.6 and leave 
the version at 8:0:2.  One question is whether you should use -release 
instead of -version-info for libtool; libtool does different things on 
different operating systems yielding a confusing set of library version 
numbers.  7:0:1 generates:
        
        .6.1.0          on Linux and Darwin
        .7.1            on Freebsd-aout
        .7              on Freebsd-elf
        sgi6.1:sgi6.0   on irix
        6.1.0:6.0       on osf
        .7.1            on sunos
        -6              on windows

8:0:2 will generate even more confusing names...
