I think generating something from the version number would be fine, if
we can figure out some way to handle it (sort of like a DNS SOA serial
number). Something like GnuCash version x.y.z -> XXYYZZVV
The hard question is: how do we encode the 'VV' version such that it
gets reset to 0 whenever we reset the gnucash version in configure.ac?
Any system we use has risks and problems.
