Summary: Selecttlb doesn't handle hexadecimal version numbers

Initial Comment:
It appears Selecttlb.py for pywin32 210 doesn't handle typelibs with
hexadecimal version numbers. After updating our app to version 10.0
(a.0), we cannot use makepy anymore

The attached patch fixed the problem.

Not sure if there is a standard, but a simple version statement like the
following actually produces a a.0:

[
    uuid(...),
    version(10.0),
    helpstring(...)
]

library OURLIB
{
    ...

By googling around a bit there seems to be several apps using this scheme
(Corel Wordperfect 12)

Why disallow it in the first place?

I'd love to find some documentation that states the tlb version numbers
are hex!  Are you sure that you aren't simply creating an invalid typelib
for yourself?  Office 10, for example, doesn't use hex to the best of my
knowledge.
