It changed _again_???!? Gah. I say again: Gah.

IronPython folks - can you pretty pretty pretty please choose a format
for this string, and stick to it? With sys.version_info telling lies,
people need a sane sys.version at least.

Does 1.1a1 have a sys.subversion string? I'm not sure I have the
ability to download from codeplex (I think it needs Windows
machines...)
