Brandon, I really try to follow you, and really would like to help out. But
what do you mean with proprietary tools? We are talking about a file
containing XML formatted text. The XML structure was posted to this list,
and yeah you could argue about the Xml attributes, the nodes, the encoding,
whatever, but it is there for you to discuss. There isn't anything closed
here. What is closed is how an OS formatted file structure is transformed to
a vv, but that's not hard to do?

And again, if William suggests to versioning the plugin name within the vv,
then I would rather support that over what ever will be put into the
VersInfo.txt. That file is a convenience, given a plugin tool out there, but
I am not dependent on that.

I apologize if I cannot follow you, perhaps because I am too occupied with
other pressing and urgent needs,

regards,

Alfred
