That is correct.  wine --version reports the ftp release of
Wine.  Unless I missed a letter from wine-announce, 20010824 is the most
recent ftp release of Wine.  And I missed the letter in wine-cvs with a
url to a patch file that changed ANNOUNCE and version.h (and ChangeLog).

I doubt it.  It will be wine-20010824 until Alexandre decides to make a
new ftp release and changes <wine>/ANNOUNCE and
<wine>/include/version.h.  He could, of course, change the way wine does
versions, but probably he is working on things he thinks are more
important.
