I don't know either. But it does not really matter. When there are 4
digits in the FILEVERSION and PRODUCTVERSION statements, then the user
does not see them as-are, but, for example, 1.8.1283 for
FILEVERSION 1,8,5,3 (1283 = 5*256+3). Therefore, I think that there is
no point in providing 4 numbers, and the patch below should be
sufficient.
