There's a comment about the number of digits for each part of the 
version number: "Some more thinking on the version number... I think 
it's relatively safe to set it at 2/2/5. That covers MSVC which has the 
large patch numbers. And covers CW, and others, which are up to and past 
10 for the major number." The intent, as it's not explicit since the 
MSVC define is not there yet, is that the patch number for MSVC will be 
the build number. So in your previous example the version would be 
8.0.50215.
