Please do read back on this - now lenghty - discussion. Unfortunately,
any monotonically increasing version does _not_ work, thanks to the
magic of maintenance releases. Let us bow collectively to the wisdom
of distro maintainers who are smart and have been doing this job for
far longer than us.

In other words, let us do the same thing that rpm and dpkg do.

It gives you both more expressive power, and a stupid "1.1.0.9z is
older than 2.0-alpha" cmp function for whenever you need it.

cheers,
