After giving this some more thought, I've found that there are 3 options
for naming the 0.40 directory:

	1) use the library soname (~/.libopensync1)

	2) use the syncgroup.conf version (~/.opensync/1.0)

	3) use the stable release series version (~/.opensync/0.40)

I like option #3.  It is clear to the user, and this is a user
oriented directory.  Also, a version like 0.4x or 0.40 maintains
the goal of keeping 0.4x versions compatible with each other,
while letting the syncgroup.conf version work as designed.

I'll go with option #3 unless notified.
