I have a feeling the above is a solution waiting for problem, but from a flexibility standpoint I actually really like it :) Adding this kind of revision number will convolute the version comparison a bit, and the dep calculation will have to be patched to allow this (currently it only allows for real floating point numbers). I think we'll want to refactor the vercmp() so that there is a separate function for comparing version numbers (eg. 1.5 vs. 1.100 vs. 1.02) which the revision comparison can use as well.
