Since most of our games are references by their "Alpha" number anyhow,
I think the numbering scheme may work. However, I highly recommend
that in official numbers, we don't do say  just 21, instead, make it
0.21. All versions our previous versions like 0.8.21 and 0.8.20,  have
this 8 that doesn't carry any meaning, so take it out. After 1.0, we
will want to keep a similar scheme, 1.1, then 1.2, then 1.3, 1.4, 1.5,
1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 1.11 .... 1.42 and so on.

Yes, and I have. I got scons to compile compile glob 2 code no problem
in less than 30 minutes. Scons is my builder of choice because its
extremely flexible. Since Scons files are python scripts, anything
Scons can't do, you can implement with very minimal effort. And scons
is also very flexible.
