You are right, but I hope that there will be an official version
numbering up to December 31, 1999.  Anyway, the next upstream package
will be packaged y2k save.

Oh yes, you are right.  At first I downloaded the stuff from the
web page and when loading the stuff from the ftp archive I was
confused because there is a version 0.2 from March 9, an archive
without version number from August 20 and the archive named snapshot
from August 28.  I'd consider it to be a good idea, if you'd insert
a "dist" statement in the Makefile which would use a VERSION
variable.

That's perfectly all right.  I would be happy about a private E-mail
to be informed soon about the new upstream source to get it bundled
fast.

Kind regards
