Done.  New name is `VERSIONS.TXT'.

On systems which determine file system type mainly by file extension, VERSION.DLL can get confused with an actual DLL. The fact that it is installed under usr/share/doc makes it doubly confusing.

I would suggest that at the very least this file is renamed to VERSION.TXT or something similar.
