+The current app version model started off simple
+but has become a complex kludge.
+This is a proposal for a new design.
+
+Directory structure:
+{{{
+apps/
+  appname1/
+    windows_intelx86/
+      1.0/
+        (files)
+      1.1/
+        (files)
+      1.1_cuda/
+        (files>
+      1.1_opencl/
+         (files)
+    i686-apple-darwin/
+      1.0/
+        (files)
+}}}
+
+The version directories have names of the form VERSION or VERSION_PLANCLASS.
+The contents of a particular directory are:
+
+ * application files
+ * signature files (FILENAME.sig)
+ * a "version description file", version.xml
+
+The structure of version.xml is:
+
+{{{
+<version>
+  <file>
+    <physical_name>PNAME</physical_name>
+    [ <logical_name>LNAME</logical_name> ]
+    [ <main_program/> ]
+    [ <copy_file/> ]
+  </file>
+  ...
+</version>
+}}}
