I would just like to point out that trying to use CVS revision
numbers as module or system version numbers is a bad, bad thing
to do.  This cannot be reiterated enough, and I realize that you
did not suggest doing it Mike, but some people might get the
mistaken impression that this use of revision numbers is not
the mistake that it is.
