version number in mercurial

[Carlo de Falco]

After several failed attempts I finally managed to build sources fron
the savannah repository (pulled this morning) on my macbook with OSX  
10.5.7.

When running the newly built binary I noticed that the version is  
still set to 3.1.55 and I was wondering whether, given that 3.2.0 is  
now out, this shold rather be 3.3.x or 3.2.1 or anything else > 3.2.0?

Sorry if this is a silly question, it's just that I am curios about  
how the version numbering works...

P.S. My build was done using gcc4.2 from Xtools and g95 and all other  
dependencies from fink, all attempts to use gcc4.3 or 4.4 and gfortran  
failed for me, has anyone managed to build octave with gfortran on OSX?
