If all the DLLs need the same version, update them all to the new 
version number and include them all in the patch. If the version info is 
the only change, MSI delta patches will be tiny so there's little 
overhead in including all of them.

You definitely don't want to lie about file versions -- MSI relies on it 
to be accurate.
