<pre>Interesting, thanks Jan-Marek.
1) 6.1.0.3 becomes 6.1.3 with the current setup which is clearly incorrect and
misleading.
As an end-user, changing this version number the way it does is very confusing.
Since this is a user-facing string, why not just drop the "micro version"
instead of munging it? That would make a lot more sense.
2) According to Apple, in the CFBundleVersion:
- The first number represents the most recent major release and is limited to a
maximum length of four digits.
- The second number represents the most recent significant revision and is
limited to a maximum length of two digits.
- The third number represents the most recent minor bug fix and is limited to a
maximum length of two digits.
So the version number being produced here - 6.1.2001 - is invalid.

I could go into "why does the project feel it needs a 'micro version' at all",
but I won't :-)</pre>
