Addum to my mail from yesterday:
I've just added some code that expands a sprintf(3)-like %-pattern given
in the -B option's argument for numbered backups. (The counter used is an
int, starting from 0):

-B.old%d	-> foo.old0, foo.old1, foo.old2, ...
-B.BAK%02d	-> bar.BAK00, bar.BAK01, ...

I think you get the idea.
