+# Versioning scheme: A.B.C
+#         A: major version, decimal, any number of digits
+#         B: minor version, decimal, any number of digits
+#        C: patchlevel, one digit, omitted if zero.

+# ProjectVersionInt does *not* contain the patchlevel (rationale: this
+# figure is used for conditional compilations, and library interfaces
+# etc. are not supposed to change between patchlevels).
+#
+# The ProjectVersionInt is included in interface files, and GHC
+# checks that it's reading interface generated by the same ProjectVersion
+# as itself. It does this even though interface file syntax may not 
+# change between versions.  Rationale: calling conventions or other 
+# random .o-file stuff might change even if the .hi syntax doesn't
