How the version number is presented isn't terribly important, whether it's
1.99 or 123 or <hash>.  Someone just saying that their script is dated
2009.May.01 doesn't tell you anything about what the code is, but an
understood version number can (unless someone touches the code without
modifying the version, of course).
Anyway, it's (the version number) just a communication tool.

That's fine.  or even using multiple config files and saying

$ pwclient --config xyz

is satisfactory unless I am overlooking something.

Thanks.
