This works.

This also works.

The PLaneT versioning system is simple and deterministic.  If you the
change is backwards compatible the minor version is incremented by
one.  If you say it isn't the major version is incremented and minor
version is reset to zero.

You can create "development links" using the planet command line tool,
which basically means PLaneT associates a directory on your filesystem
with a particular package, major, and minor version.  You can test
your libraries in development using this.
