OK, I'll wait for your patch then.

Well, IMO at the current stage, formal version numbering is probably
not very useful.  I'd suggest a scheme similar to that employed by Wine:
keep the current version in CVS, but create from time to time (every
two weeks or so) a snapshot in the form of a tarball.  Those could 
simply by numbered by date.

Real version numbers can then be introduced as soon as we have something
that is actually useable for any practical purpose (by non-developers) ...

In any case, I'd then create CVS tags to define the snapshots; this means
that the snapshot can be easily extracted using 'cvs export', and diffs
relative to a shapshot can be created using cvs.

Bye,
Ulrich
