Hi Jake,

As always, we are doing very specific things :o)

Well this is always the same specific case where we are developing 
plugins for a software (http://www.4d.com/). Plugins are dynamic 
libraries (on mac and windows) with specific names (should be the same 
on windows and mac with a specific extensions .4DX). ... well there are 
many constraints and one is that no version must be appended in name. 
And as you said we do not want to loose all advantages of specifying a 
version to the product.

Olivier
