As discussed in mail, it would be nice if there was space for a vendor-specific
build number or patch level, whatever one wants to call it, in the version
numbers as entered into the Version column of the File table in the MSI
installers. Currently values like 9.0.0.9344 are stored there. 9.0.0 is the
"LIBRARYVERSION" from openoffice.lst, and 9344 the "buildid", a.k.a. "BUILD"
from minor.mk which despite itse name is actually not a "build identifier" but
an identifer for a certain upstream source release. At least, that's my
understanding.

(For upstream, which presumably distributes just one build per source release,
it can also act as a build id. But downstream vendors might have to release
several builds from one source release, i.e. not just the FCS, but also upgrades
that contain backported bug fixes, security fixes, customer-specific
experimental feature patches, etc.)

I'll leave the details how to implement this up to you, and whether to at the
same time decide to use version numbers based on PACKAGEVERSION instead of
LIBRARYVERSION for instance.
