Whilst this erratic behavior is infuriating at best, at least the linux
behavior is reasonable: version= should be constrained to the enclosing
module, and then be imported as necessary/required/appropriate.

The behavior under Win32 indicates version=blah is global to all modules
under the current compile. In my humble opinion, that blows large chundery
bits
