To put it simple, and if I understood correctly :

Right now the linking lookup is done on a name basis, with an additionnal
MD5 check. Your proposal is to make a lookup on a (Name+MD5) basis. This way
you can have overlapping names that differs only by MD5.

That looks simple and nice, since it corrects two problems at once :
- module name overlapping
- versionning : having several versions on the library installed or packaged
into the same CMA would be ok this way !

Where can I vote for ? :)
