It should not be disabled. Project options don't depend on the current 
target OS, so if you current target OS doesn't mean you are not allowed 
to set the version number, because later you (or somebody else) may 
decide to compile the application for windows. The manifest option and 
the application bundle option are not disabled either on linux.
