tlbimp.exe does allow you to set the assembly version using the /asmversion option which also sets the file version. Note that it's the file version that matters, though - not the assembly or product version. During link, you won't need to pass -fv to light.exe since the assembly version changes. Ship a publisher policy assembly in the GAC to automatically update bindings to the new version as documented in the .NET Framework SDK at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dz32563a.aspx.
