That's not quite right. Creating dynamic libs with more than one "." in 
their targetName is definitely possible.

Product.name is the identifier that's used for referencing the product 
in a Depends item. This one cannot contain more than one dot, and it 
shouldn't contain any dot, actually.
Use Product.targetName to set the base name of the produced dynamic lib.

DynamicLibrary {
     name : "one_two_three"
     targetName: "one.two.three"
}

Application {
     Depends { name : "one_two_three" }
     name: "myapp"
}
