Talking about version numbers and revisions, is there a reason why
\eTeXrevision has a period in it, like .2
Hardly useful, that period (well, it means that one can test for
\ifnum\eTeXversion\eTeXrevision pt>2.2pt
or
\ifnum\eTeXrevision pt>.2pt
but in that case \eTeXversion could have been 2.2 -)
A consistent versioning system among etex pdftex aleph etc would make sense
