It is not a good idea to have - in the version string. What is the most
classical is a mixed digit and . (in ascii ascending order, please :-).
But adding a special tag for the opengrads build would be right, given
that these are more or less parallel versions. So something like
2.0.0.oga.

We use what 'upstream' provides. In any case I may package opengrads or
COLA grads depending on which one is the most on the bleeding edge, but
I won't package both at a given time.

Version strings that are in the ascending ascii order are much easier to
use for packaging.

There is an additional release number we use to track the changes in the
package but it is not relevant for you.
