You're probably thinking of linux sonames with dots. Windows doesn't have that, 
the dash in the name is a libtool convention for the best approximation you can 
get to allowing multiple versions of the library to be installed side by side, 
and different applications to link to different versions. The linker doesn't 
know about this convention on Windows, it's usually handled by libtool with 
associated .la or .dll.a files.
