 QGIS GRASS plugin on each GRASS point version ;-)

 it's more about


 {{{
 However: on Windows, the name used to create the DLL (e.g.
 libgrass_gis.7.0.svn.dll) is stored in the DLL, and this is preserved
 when the file is copied. When linking against a DLL, the name which is
 stored in the target (library or executable) is the name stored in the
 library, not the name of the file. So linking with -lgrass_gis links
 against libgrass_gis.dll, but the resulting executable or library
 depends upon libgrass_gis.7.0.svn.dll.
