And another thing: you should put a comment in it saying
/*
* This implements the algorithm for comparison of version strings
* specified by Debian and now widely adopted. The detailed
* specification can be found in the Debian Policy Manual in the
* section on the `Version' control field. This version of the code
* implements that from s5.6.12 of Debian Policy v3.8.0.1
* http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Version
*/
