No, you can't check the fields. If Version is defined as 0.0.0.0, or
if the user didn't specified version, it happens the same. Then
Version is created for AssemblyName calling the new ctor, even when it
wasn't specified (not compatible with .Net).

However, since it could break api, as you mentioned maybe we should
find other way to do it (and also change the persistent flag).

Carlos.
