my experience is that it depends entirely on whether the runtime  

supports versions at all.

if one intended a logical host translation spec to behave "the same"  

on a runtime which supports file versions as on one which does not,  

one has to express the respective mappings correctly.

I believe that is correct.  I think that on at least one of these

platforms, it is customary to rewrite

"**;*.*.*" to "**/*.*"

to ensure that the version field is thrown away.
