That is unfortunate :(

History is not all that helpful anyway since they are binaries.  The fact
remains that I need to remove directories and check in new directories each
time the plugin DLL version name changes, rather than simply doing a commit.


Oh, well.  I am still curious about the OSG_MSVC_VERSIONED_DLL thing.  What
is its expected functionality supposed to be?  I am sure it is not supposed
to just break the build paths of all of the applications.  My buddy James
was sure that at one time it added the actual plugin names to every plugin,
which causes many of the same problems we have now (or worse).  He is going
to do some tests himself and look closer at it.  I am thinking that perhaps
over time the OSG practice with the versions has evolved from being not
included, to being included in the name of each DLL, to being included only
in the plugin directory name.  James, perhaps a search through the archives
might help if no one pipes up here.
