It allows to make different dependencies for incompatible versions of the same

+- the suffix is `-rs` for `rlib` and `dylib` crate types, otherwise it is the
+ crate type (e.g. `staticlib` or `cdylib`). The suffix is added to distinguish

That means the `.wrap` file should have `dependency_names = foo-1-rs` in their
`[provide]` section when `Cargo.toml` has package name `foo` and version `1.2`.
