i notices that the Version file is sometimes blanck. that's a problem for
parsing them.

About parsing VERSION file, i think that some infos are missing :

-> date of the last modification of version file
-> list of the apps that it could be find in a module with their number
version
-> indications about the librairies that was needed to compile them.

Maybe the VERSION file could be write with an XML format, so that it'll be
esasier to parse them and manipultate them ( query them or translate them in
sql data).

For this, it would be cool to have a command like this : dyneWriteVersion
( like dynemodconf..) that would read/write info in the Version FILE. It
would be easy with this tool to edit the Version file just after one
application was add to a module.

One thing that i'm thinking while writing this few word is that the same
librairies could be present in different modules ? Maybe i mistake about
this.
