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
