The value of this variable is the version of Emacs being run. It is a
string such as @code{"23.1.1"}. The last number in this string is not
really part of the Emacs release version number; it is incremented
-each time you build Emacs in any given directory. A value with four
+each time Emacs is built in any given directory.
Please use the active voice by preference.
For instance, you could write it this:
each time you build Emacs in a given directory, that increments this number.
