version numbers with more than three digits

[Ralf Wildenhues]

There was a bug report on this some time ago (in combination with more
problems, IIRC on Tru64; I only want to solve the trivial problem here).
Is there a technical reason to forbid version numbers greater than 999?

If not: OK to commit this to all branches?

Regards,
Ralf
