 In that case we have to settle down on a slightly different versioning
 scheme, otherwise the pkg tools won't do the right thing. E.g. it must
 be a version number larger than the current one and it should be
 modified to deal with this in the future to keep the comparibility.
 
 Based on what you have shown above, I would call it .3200 and always
 fill up to four digits.
