every day there's an automatic increment of the version string in
CVS.  currently it's '2004-10-05-cvs'.  anyone making a snapshot
will have that as a version string, or they'll change it to
something that's hopefully unique.  there's still 1 day of fuzz,
so it's not a perfect identifier of gdb version, since there's no
particular guarantee that a snapshot will be taken at the same
time as the version change.
