    Personally, my vote would be to warn in 1.7.0 and 1.7.1 and then
bail at 1.7.2 provided there is lots of visible warning on the
matter.  This will give folks more than ample warning of what is
to come.  The ".so" notion is modern best-practise anyway.

    I propose a warning in 1.7.0 of, "idomod.o will be deprecated in
IDOutils v1.7.1.  Please change to idomod.so" -- and then in 1.7.1,
"idomod.o is deprecated.  Change to idomod.so now as idomod.o
will not be supported in 1.7.2"
