Can I propose that the version number in AC_INIT and supplementary
documentation like NEWS is not bumped until the release is actually
made, and that the commit that does finally change the numbers is
also the one getting tagged? (Background: Freshly pulled v41, and
`git log` does not give any indication where v41 actually began, so
that one has to use git-describe, gitk or something with tag display.
The proposed scheme follows the linux kernel and uncountably other
projects.)
