It's the development of 0.9.7, hence "0.9.7-dev". Or are you thinking
about build numbers, or perhaps date strings? Otherwise, I don't
quite understand what "SNAPSHOT version" means, since we don't really
have such a concept. Snapshots are exactly that, and the state of
each snapshot is the revision number of each file. So that's possibly
what we should do, make sure that the CVS revision numbers are stored
as strings in the binary. It's a hell of a task to do, but is doable
(I've done it in other projects).
