So, like, the other day Milton Miller mumbled:

Milton,

I applied the whole lot.
Minor English typo corrections in commit log messages.

Also, I added two patches on top of these to reorganize
the Makefile into a better top-down layout and added
some Version string support, borrowed almost verbatim
from the Linux Makefiles.  We're going to arbitrarily
start with 1.0.0 unless someone has a good argument for
something else!

And, for those keeping track, my "To Do" list here still
contains the notion of breaking the booting-without-of.txt
file into two parts.  The technical descriptions of the DTC
and its file (blob) layout will move to the DTC repository
while the descriptions of nodes and properties will remain
in the kernel repository.

Let me know what you think...

Thanks,
jdl
