Attached is a refinement of the forkversionhook.inc file. The more I 
thought about Bald Eagle's idea of versioning, the more I came to 
believe his "do versioning now" idea a good one. Previously, I basically 
had a release/tarball count, but that could easily change.

So, this version adopts and defines POV-Ray's Major, Minor, Revision, 
Patch set up as creates a new povr release/tarball counter for it's 
simpler 'version' number. Code wise, I also moved the value definitions 
into version.h alongside POV-Ray's normal versioning. That version.h 
file already also defines well what the values mean.

For the code check in I'm about to do there will be no difference 
between povr's minor version and the tarball count (next is 6). All the
other values are currently 0. Of course the earlier five povr tarballs 
have none of this fork hook code.
