We need a new version numbering scheme

[SorinN]

mr. Scott,

I am a wine user for long time - I understand from start that  actual
system is not a decimal system - but a numbering one - so for me the
difference between 0.9.3. and  0.9.30 is the difference between 3 and
30.

If I presume correct, instead of changing numbering system - maybe is
better to explain this system to users - somewhere on first page -
first paragraph - on Wine HQ - and on Synaptic ( or other package
managers  where Details appear ).

At least, it's true - the position of the last point on right can make
this confusion  - this point make the difference - so here is to be
explained ( 0.9.3. < 0.9.30. ; 03.9.3.1 < 0.9.30.1 ...etc ).
