Comment:

 If we use the existing version number, we'll need a comparison function
 that handles structured numbers so that, for example, 4.0.11 > 4.0.2 .

 The version can be parsed from the version&date$ with something like:

 {{{
   bl left-parse-string  " XO-EC" $=  0=  if  2drop true exit  then  ( rem$
 )
   bl left-parse-string  " 4" $=  0=  if  2drop true exit  then  ( rem$ )
   bl left-parse-string  2nip  ( version$ )
   ec-version@  compare-ec-versions  0<=  ( flag )
 }}}

 Also we need to s/ec-name/ec-version/ in eccmd.fth and devices.fth
