Sure, if it works. I haven't used the prerelease support yet, so I
didn't think of that.  I assume this works with Hoe too, which wants
to parse "VERSION = 'x..'" out of some file in the manifest?

Yeah, we could make it 1.3.5.  I was just going with the smallest
possible increment in lieu of anything better.  Doesn't really matter
that much since it should be replaced before the next release, and
this version will only ever be seen by people hacking on rubygems.
The important thing is that apps using the rubygems API can check >
1.3.4 (for supporting unreleased version) or <= 1.3.4 (for backward
compatibility).
