:   No.  The prescribed approach from <http://cygwin.com/setup.html> is:
:
:    In your binary package, include a file /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/foo-vendor-  
:    suffix.README containing (at a minimum) the information needed for an end 
:    user to recreate the package. This includes CFLAGS settings, configure 
:    parameters, etc. 
:
:  This doesn't say any package version number is a requirement.  There are 
:  benefits to leaving the number off (i.e. the same file applies to any 
:  version).

Then, what is meant by ``-vendor-suffix'' in the above quotation?

L8r,
