Hmm, at least you're subversioning.
Why diverge from numbers? It helps clarify the origins of a non FSF
release of a tool. Someone files a bug with ``2.11.92.hj.5'' then
everyone knows that it is a H.J. branch. On the other hand, 2.11.92.0.5
could either be H.J. the FSF, or even some other party.
your choice I guess,
Andrew
