That's easy for the case where the user runs l-m-c from a bzr branch,
but that's probably the case where the -v option is least needed. The
setup.py file is not available in the package, so we need to carry the
version info into the package somehow. Is there a standard way of
doing this?

Yeah why not; the '.1' worked better in the 0.4.x version scheme.
