Agreed. (I'm more with `micro-version' than `revision', but that's a
micro point.)
What about adding a _forth_ version indicator, `patch-level'. The
*-versions could be guaranteed to be numbers, and `patch-level' could
be any string. People would use the patch-level for locally modified
versions of Guile and it would normally be empty.
