g-wrap version numbers

[Derek Atkins]

Tell that to Linus Torvalds -- they make incompatible changes
in the Linux kernel between X.Y.Z and X.Y.Z+1.  Unfortunately
it is a fact of life.

Would it be nice if people followed the convention?  Sure.
Considering you know the author of g-wrap, you should probably
talk to him directly instead of us.. ;)
