| Why are cygwin files (exe. dlls etc. ) not version stamped on Windows?
Because that would involve adding Windows resources to the files which is not
something that source code targetted for *nix usually does. It would involve
patching the source which is what maintainers are usually trying to avoid if
possible.

There are also --{major,minor}-image-version flags for ld but I am not sure
these are the right thing for that (though I have used them to mark Boost
.dlls as 1.33).
