 Lalo>    2.0.8!pre1

	Really? try 2.0.8~pre1~2. An mini epoch means there is only
 one per version. A special character can occur as often as you want.

	2.0.~.8~1~2~3~45~6~8~9bet~34~42~alpha~1

	Let us see you match that! (overkill? possibly. But we never
 though we needed any more than epochs or 32 bit IP addresses either
 [or 2 digits for years]).
