I was adding a version check to the lobby, to inform users that a new
client is available.

The question I have is, currently we (ab)use the version string to
include mod information.
ie: "2.3 svn" becomes "2.3 svn, mod:blah blah blah"

(1)If we still want to go with what is currently done, then it is
possible to use a delimiter to strip off the ",mod: blah blah" part,
and in this case, the delimiter would be ",".

(2)If we go the other way, then when we receive the GAMESTRUCT from
the server, we would need to cat the version string to the modlist
string.

Option 1 requires no code changes to our codebase, and only code
changes to the lobby server.

Option 2 requires code changes to our codebase, and no changes to the
lobby server (for parsing the version string).

Opinions on which option is better for us?
