I came to the conclusion that the best way of fixing the bug is by 
overriding the virtual function conjugate() in class mul. This also 
retains binary compatibility.

What is the reason for a new ABI version? I just checked and found that 
current HEAD is still compatible with GiNaC 1.5.0. Putting on my 
distributor's hat, I hate the trouble caused by new SONAME versions.
