Hi Bruno,

Looks like neither Gary nor I scrupulously track all that stuff and it
takes time
for the word to get around.  Sorry.

Since I thought I was inventing version numbers, I chose to dot the
year/month/day
fields for readability.  I notice that your gnulib drops drop the dots:
  http://erislabs.net/ianb/projects/gnulib/gnulib-20100829-stable.tar.gz

I'd prefer having the dots, but prefer still more in consistency, so I leave the
choice to you.

May I push the script as it can have no effect without someone
explicitly running it?
Attached is another copy, different from the last only in that datarootdir was
added to the generate-libtool.pc-script.

Cheers - Bruce
