(The Admin/release-steps script ensures this.)

That's because I have not investigated what consequences it would
have to assign real version numbers here. Namely:
  - Can a C# code that wants to use GNU.Gettext.dll request a certain
    minimum version? If so, how?
  - If a larger version is found, will it be used?
