NVIDIA Cg Toolkit [LSARC/2008/495 FastTrack timeout 08/08/08]

[Richard L. Hamilton]

Volatile, externally controlled, that's the price of admission on this one, ok.
That they provide it at all is better than that they don't, and adding it so the
end user doesn''t have to hunt for it and/or has a similar experience as on other
platforms, may be desirable.  (I trust it's redistributable even if closed source.)

Nevertheless, the lack of version numbers on the libs bothers me.  If the
files are actually like that, I for one would rather it was on the record that
upstream had been asked (whether they act on it or not is of course up to them).
And if they were receptive, that version numbers only changed for incompatible
ABI changes, rather than tracking source version numbers as some dubious practices
might have it.
