My comment on this would be that If I'm doing my own compilation, I would want to keep the source separate, and I wouldn't want the version number in the prefix since my management software (subversion) takes care of that.. - but (especially for self supported sw) I would expect to have multiple versions of the software on the network, and some means of choosing which version (ie http://modules.sourceforge.net is my current choice - I use it right now for commercial tools for which I have several versions (mainly because not all the licenses were upgraded to allow use of the latest version, so I have to keep the older ones around.. )
Its not that I want to keep the source secret, its just my end users don't like to do software.
