...... Logically setup.py should import any version info from the right
place ie the package __init__.py. I will check in a change to do that
now.

If we're going to start messing with the numbers I suggest we modify
that single source file during the construction of the archives and
leave the CVS version in plain. The only argument then is exactly what
we should add to the version. I suggest we add YYYYMMDDhhmmss expressed
in GMT. That would theoretically allow us to duplicate exactly the build
using CVS, but leaving off the time probably wouldn't hurt that much.
