Problem with that one is that all builds are incremental, 
after the first one.  2.1 is an increment of 2.0, etc.

This is a "temporary" add-on that will be folded into 
the main libraries (which you also need of course, to run
the company's product).  Eight out of ten customers load 
just the regular library. The remaining two load the regular 
library, plus the shim (which gives them the same functionality 
as the others got (on their OS flavors) from just the main 
library).

Or something like that.
