[SDL] version.plist versus Info.plist on Mac

Hello,

I've noticed in SDL and SDL-based frameworks that the plist information is 
kept in the file "Info.plist".  I was wondering if it would be better to 
change this file to "version.plist" or add a file of the same name.  The 
reason for this is so Installer can automatically detect version info for 
installs.  The alternative, as I see it, is for every app writer to write a 
script so as not to delete an already existing, better version of the 
SDL.framework in /Library/Frameworks.

Thanks,

Ryan
