"Registering" an application

[Per Bergqvist]

> first, the general idea is that the application directory shall be  
name-version.                                                         
> E.g foo-1.0. The version may actually be any string acceptable to   
the file                                                              
> system.                                                             
                                                                      
Well, it depends on where in the development cycle you are.           
I always keep my revision controlled development source in a appname  
only directory and let make install generate a target with            
appname-version by consulting the file appname/vsn.mk.                
                                                                      
This is the common way to do it (for otp as well).
