In zwgc, the variable $zephyr_version is ZEPH0.2, and the value of
$version is 0.4.7.  This strikes me as a bit odd....  I realize that
there is no real meaning to version numbers, and that most people
never see these numbers, but do you think setting $zephyr_version to
ZEPH 2.0 and $version something like 1.0 or 2.0 would be reasonable?
I suppose the protocol version numbers haven't really been kept up to
date or used, or else there wouldn't be problems with old hostmangers
and new servers, etc.......

                                Anal-retentively,
