[Axiom-developer] Axiom version numbering

[Gabriel Dos Reis]

Hi,

   Giving a conventional version numbering x.y.z is not
exclusing of giving the build time.  In fact none of them
is completely accurate and unambiguous for all purposes. They can 
be seen complimentary.  It can also be checked that several
software out there give both types of versioning.  They are
each useful for specific kinds of investigations.  X.Y.Z. helps quikcly
identify the flavor of a release.  The finer grained version giving time of
build serves different purpose.

  Modern Axiom releases should have  X.Y.Z version numbering
in addition of the the more verbose and imprecise 'May 2007'
scheme.
