This is for alpha, beta, etc. purposes. I think I broke this once thus
the reason I added the small vercmp test suite.
# from the manpage
runtest 1.0a 1.0alpha -1
runtest 1.0alpha 1.0b -1
runtest 1.0b 1.0beta -1
runtest 1.0beta 1.0rc -1
runtest 1.0rc 1.0 -1
# going crazy? alpha-dotted versions
runtest 1.5.a 1.5 1
runtest 1.5.b 1.5.a 1
runtest 1.5.1 1.5.b 1
