[Development] Adding support for version number comparisons

[Keith Gardner]

Let's not make it that complicated.  If the suffix is one character, assume
that it stands for a released version.  If the suffix is greater than one
character, assume it references a pre-released version.  With this rule,
comparisons will work properly. "1.0.0beta" < "1.0.0" < "1.0.0b".
