Probably not.  And in things like configure scripts I always check against 
versions of installed libraries, not against the SDK name.  However, it is 
good enough to answer the question "someone left me an SDK which version is 
it"!

MUD uses it as the default for the SDK name (which it uses to select 
alternative entries in its build file) but the user can override it if it is 
wrong.
