Perhaps those are library version numbers rather than Wireshark version
numbers. (As stated in another thread, shared library version numbers should
*NOT* necessarily be tied to product version numbers.)

The ABI Compatibility Checker from the Institute for System Programming of the
Russian Academy of Sciences:

If by "can it also be used to check DLLs?" you mean "does it work on Windows?",
I infer from its INSTALL file:
http://forge.ispras.ru/projects/abi-compliance-checker/repository/entry/trunk/INSTALL.txt
that the current version works on Windows. They also list "Linux and FreeBSD"
as supported platforms, which probably means "ELF-based systems using the GNU
toolchain", so it probably includes the other *BSDs, and might also work on
other ELF-based systems if you install the GNU toolchains, in addition to
listing Mac OS X.
