True. This is my first homebrew formula, so I was just following the Formula Cookbook. [It says](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/wiki/Formula-Cookbook#a-quick-word-on-naming): "Name the formula like the project markets the product." Which is "[vid.stab](http://public.hronopik.de/vid.stab/)".

That said, I agree that having an extra dot in the filename seems strange. Is there another way of having `brew` find the formula as `vid.stab` while using a different file name?
