Unfortunately, this proposal violates GNU Coding Standards:
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/standards.html#g_t_002d_002dversion> The reason for this is that certain programs(Gnash BZR repository, Subversion
SVN repository, etc.) appear to look inside the parentheses for the libtool
version,
I suggest
reporting that as a bug to those programs, then.
