Fluxbox version: 1.3.5
GIT Revision: 9b40943deaac2c72d3cc1c6ec4645a32562ab810
Compiled: Apr 19 2014 15:37:31

I just thought that the emacs way of renaming the development branched
programme was the 'de facto' standard! i.e. yesterday I was on emacs
24.4.50.6, whereas today I'm on 24.4.50.7!

I think tomorrow I shall start playing. I'll also post to the list my
'automated building' script, so others might find it useful too.
