	Cool. I *like* that (wish I had thought of doing that).  I'll
 put this automatic version number deducing code in the next version
 of scripts that I upload (0.8, I think). However, I'll wait 24 hours
 to see if anything else comes up (I notice that Linus just released
 pre-2.0.6, so we may have time before the stable version comes out).
