There are two sections in the Windows resources which contain the
FileVersion information

At least the Tcl code I have from RockShox manipulates only the section
which contains all the other data as well. But Windows takes the version
info not from this changed section, but the other untouched one :(

I believe sdx uses the same Tcl code for doing the stringinfo manipulation
and thus runs into the same problem.
