Hi,

Just an idea: Creating a module is mostly straight forward, especially
after you have done it a couple of times. But every so often you run into
an application for which creating a module is a lot trickier: e.g.
requires modification of configuration files in unexpected places and
stored in remote corners.

Eventually you succeed in creating the module. All is well. Until the
release of a new update or version of that application. You set to work to
create a new module and you find yourself scratching your head how you
pulled it off the previous time. This because, true heroe as you are, you
of course didn't make or take any notes! Agony and frustration just knock
on your door for an extended stay.

And here's the idea: What if we would extend the VERSION file with a
field, labeled e.g. build_info, to store this information?

This way, you only have to open up the old VERSION file for some pointers.
And even better yet, if someone else would like to have a go at creating a
new updated module for this application, they could open up the VERSION
file and do it themselves.

What says you, fellow dyners? Could this be a way for "agony and
frustration" to skip your door because of the New-Version-file-inside
badge shown?
