Yeah, this is something I had meant to work on for quite a while. The README is updated at release time to fix the version number, the problem is mostly with the HEAD sources. > The attached patch removes all the 6.3ness, referring to a generic > VERSION.

I'd give it a couple of days for people to have a chance to comment, and then commit. Thanks, -- Joel
