No. This problem is trying to shoehorn a square block into a round hole.

Tla's versioning infrastructure is not targeted at complex version
strings - see how tom id's his preX and actual releases for an example.
I think I sent an email saying 'use configs'. And I KNOW that Tom sent
one too.

configs are the Right Way to do this. (For more than tla - for CVS, svn
and more).
