We set the forth digit to 0 for the AssemblyVersion attribute and SVN
revision number for the AssemblyFileVersion attribute.  This way you can
slipstream fixes without breaking compatibility with other's code, but you
still have the revision number if you want it.

We also add the actual SVN url to the AssemblyDescription so you can grab
the exact code easily.
