How?

I can prove to you its possible, but Id rather not since it seems
to upset you when I distribute things that I didn't write.

Its gone... I stopped maintaining it since compiz-extra-0.3.6

There are no hard records on which version is which, nobody
seems to care much so neither do I.

I have been waiting for some sort of internal versioning scheme
for the plugins which I think can be provided by metadata, so
it will be a moot point soon.

My friend google says it means contradiction, but things
have to be related before they can contradict each other so
two unrelated statements cannot be contradictions.

I think I have answered your question if you meant that I
was dodging the question.
