Thanks, so it's deliberate. 

The above differences in the naming convention seem needless. The module could 
be versioned independently without that inconsistency in the filenames. 

The library filenames for Enginio do not have a version in their basename at 
all, as was discussed and actioned for all modules before Qt 5.0. Is that a 
mistake, or is this stuff a free-for-all for all new modules?

Thanks,
