Maintenance of BOOST_GIL_VERSION

Hi,

Shouldn't we increase the version with every Boost release
that delivers any changes to GIL code?

The version is described [1]:

/// This is a simple integer that is incremented by one every
/// time a set of code changes is merged to the develop branch.
#define BOOST_GIL_VERSION 22

Assuming the description is correct, then every time we merge
new non-trivial changes from GIL's develop to master for release
with new Boost version, the BOOST_GIL_VERSION should be
increased, no?

Best regards.
