Just a thought - why not use the Linux method? Use odd numbered versions for
untested programs, and even numbered versions for tried and tested programs.

ie win32libv4.0 - A tried and stable version
    win32libv4.1 - A new version still under development
    win32libv4.2 - When 4.1 becomes stable change it's name to this and
start
    win32libv4.3 - As the new development version.

That way people get to choose between the latest beta version if they are
adventurous, or they could take the latest stable version instead.
