[Qgis-developer] Preventing plugin conflicts at 2.0

[Marco Bernasocchi]

hi all, I know that michael minn (cc) from mmqgis has flagged the 2.0
version as experimental and the 1.8 not. this somehow solves the proble
temporarily, but maxversion would be nice so different versions would
cohexist.
ciao
