I don't like using dots for anything but versions and suffixes (because it would be harder for Sorcery to recognize where tyhe version ends ;-) ), hence the question: did you consider smgl-version-arch.iso, or (IMHO even better) smgl-arch-version.iso? Just a thought.

In preparation for our SMGL ports (PPC, SPARC, and possibly Irix (unet?)),
I would like our ISOs to be renamed as follows:

smgl-<version>.<arch>.iso

I made everything lowercase (I dislike upper case, but if enough people
whine we can keep it upper case... ;)). I also removed the 'ISO' label,
as the extension labels it as an ISO, no need having the name repeat it.

Examples:
smgl-6.1.i386.iso
smgl-6.1.ppc.iso (Do we need other naming? .g3, .g4 instead, similar to
.i386?)
smgl-6.1.sparc.iso
smgl-6.1.sparc64.iso (requires a 64-bit kernel to boot, could possibly
combine the two SPARC ISOs into one and just have the user select which
kernel to load, as the rest of the applications can (and should, according
to people on #sparc) be compiled as 32-bit).
etc.

Thoughts?
