ikarus should display version number instead of build date in the banner

[Abdulaziz Ghuloum]

The banner should say

Ikarus Scheme version 0.0.1
Copyright (c) 2006-2007 Abdulaziz Ghuloum

instead of the current

Ikarus Scheme (Build 2007-11-18)
Copyright (c) 2006-2007 Abdulaziz Ghuloum

You may wish to consider doing something like is done with GHC. Stable releases get an even version number and do not include the date, but development versions do get an odd number and include the date in their version number (options other than dates include the repository revision number but that only works if the repo has no local changes). For example,

$ ghc --version # A stable build
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.6.1

$ ./compiler/ghc-inplace --version # A development build
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.9.20071023

(I'm re-opening this so it doesn't get forgotten. Feel free to close.)

The bzr version now displays

Ikarus Scheme version 0.0.1+ (revision 1091, build 2007-11-19)
Copyright (c) 2006-2007 Abdulaziz Ghuloum

Releases should display:

Ikarus Scheme version 0.0.1
Copyright (c) 2006-2007 Abdulaziz Ghuloum
