I use a utility I wrote that reads the info.plist file and allows you to change the version number stored there. When you save the new version data, the app is "touched" which not only makes it show the updated data from info.plist, but it changes the app's modification date to the current date. It isn't very neat, but it works well and if people are interested, I would be happy to make it available.
