Huh. I assumed anyone would distribute xmame as a whole, not pieces and 
parts of it. It's only when you upgrade pieces and parts of an application 
and its shared libraries that you run into compatibility problems.

In any case you could implement a versioning system if you really believe 
it would be a problem. It's still simple to do.
