To avoid this, I will be renumbering it to libjpeg-8.0.1 (which is the
soname version).

This is for alpha, beta, etc. purposes. I think I broke this once thus
the reason I added the small vercmp test suite.

# from the manpage
runtest 1.0a 1.0alpha -1
runtest 1.0alpha 1.0b -1
runtest 1.0b 1.0beta -1
runtest 1.0beta 1.0rc -1
runtest 1.0rc 1.0 -1

# going crazy? alpha-dotted versions
runtest 1.5.a 1.5 1
runtest 1.5.b 1.5.a 1
runtest 1.5.1 1.5.b 1

I know. I was just pointing out some fun with package versioning. I
did not even think about that issue until I tried installing the package.


If only the collective upstream would figure out haw to version software
consistently...

and here we have another reason to punish anybody using versioned
dependencies. ;-) (of course upstream needs to be hit, too)
