Actually, it's not hardcoded. See last commit where Dan bumped it :
8efe0ecb250050e9061854476468298afb5944d2

it's defined in configure.ac.

But don't ask me what to do from there :)

Isn't the version in the lib filename itself (/usr/lib/libalpm.so.2.2.0)?
And isn't there a standard way to get a lib version?
