You're trying to solve problems particularly prevalent on source installs, here
the distro will keep up with OpenRAVE and that will be one specific sequence of
versions. So actually I'm probably going to remove all version numbers, so even
the one from the exclude file. If you have a long-term stable 1.0 release at
some point, and then a couple of years later a 2.0, then having a multi-install
could be an option, like for Eigen. But not just for minor versions because the
API is still a moving target. The solution is to stabilize the API, not
increase the number of required (and obviously incompatible) versions on a
system.

So I'd like to have some way to optionalize your version suffixes. So if there
was an OPT flag we could simply turn it off on Fedora. Developers should use
pkg-config or cmake to get the appropriate include and link flags so there are
no fundamental differences between Ubuntu and Fedora afterwards.
