An example of the build ID would be 'snv79a'. Internally at Sun, build
ID is what is currently used to refer to versions. At this point, it's
just a different convention for representing the same notion as in
FULL_VERSION. Perhaps BUILD_ID could be dropped, but some people might
still like to see it.
