How about following the linux kernel's version numbering system? Allows
you to maintain parallel branches, forks like -ac, -mm, -ck etc on a
fairly consistent basis - and allows patches to be distributed instead
of full tarballs (something that's a useful thing when downloading small
upgrades over a dead slow dialup - like if I'm traveling with a linux
laptop and a gprs phone) :)
