I'm fine dropping the version portion from the filename, but it has to have it 
in some way. Having recipe_X.Y.Z.bb is equivalent to having PV = "X.Y.Z" 
inside the recipe. So, this patch has to be updated to add PV to all the 
recipes, since the version no longer comes from the filename. Yes, many WiLink 
recipes don't have PV set explicitly, only because it was coming from the 
filename. So, either filename should provide the version or set PV explicitly.

And requiring a clean build to avoid any versioning issues is not a good 
strategy - we do interative builds on a nightly basis. Moreover, upgrade path 
at runtime will become an important matter soon with binary feeds provided to 
developers...
