There won't be a next [standalone] tao release. It will be part of
petsc-3.5.

And I'm not sure if maintaining a separate tao_version.h makes sense.

And there will be a minimal changing of adapting the makefiles to to
this new mode [if one needs to maintain comatibility with
both petsc-3.4+tao-2.2 and petsc-3.5/tao].

You can check the current state of this migration at 'balay/tao-to-petsc' branch.
