For libraries, committers should always compare headers before and after
the update, regardless of whether SONAME changes or not. This is because
developers often make big changes in the headers and don't change SONAME
accordingly. devel/oniguruma is one example that I've seen, and there
were other examples. Only changes that are additions of non-virtual
members are okay. Changes in members, their removals, and additions of
virtual functions aren't ok.
