Maybe we should extend the ra layer vtable to provide a function to ask for linked libs to be added to that list. Since you're already talking about changing the vtable that would be the solution I would prefer. Shoving the version number of the library in the description doesn't fit with the existing behavior of our output and forces users of our library that want to find this information out to parse the description. That said I'd be fine with doing this in this manor for 1.8.x if we don't want to rev the vtable for it. It seems like a reasonable quick hack to get the information available.
