the creating-a-release document doesn't mention actually tagging those
versions, only committing the update to version.mk after a stable
release. so that's all i did

i was under the impression that their only purpose was to ensure that a
dev build's version number would compare greater than the previous
stable build's (and to let the shell know when compiled word code is
out of date), so that made sense to me

as to why it's not in the document in the first place, i'm pretty sure
daniel just tried to reverse-engineer the process from what he'd
observed people doing previously
