"0.3.1-anything" will sort after "0.3.1" and before "0.3.2dev", so
that's probably what you want. Typically, the "anything" would be a
revision number or date tag (e.g r5143 or 20091005), but it could
also be a manually-assigned sequential number.
Technically, this is a "post-release" tag, and in the previous
proposal for a restricted version format, you would designate it with
0.3.1.postNNNN.
