Hi Andreas,
it sounds good to me and will allow me to handle a better package
version numbering. I've also looked to some other versionning schemes
(mozilla's one for example) but don't like them. Par numbers for quite
stable release and odd number for development ones has worked nice for
long on other projects. What would be the better way to handle the case
of 0.98 if not sufficient enough ? May be we can add some rc1, rc2, rc3
for release candidates before final 1.0 ?

Another question: as far as I remember Dave planned to suppress YYYYMMDD
tag from these releases' sources, is it still in the air ?

Cheers,

Raphaël
