Actually, this got me thinking that a better way to match versions would
be if the version information was separated out into major, minor and
minor-minor attributes like this:

	CondorVersionMajor = 6
	CondorVersionMinor = 7
	CondorVersionMinorMinor = 7

Then I could say, "Run on all 6.7.x machines" with:

requirements = condorversionmajor == 6 && condorversionminor == 7

Or, "Run on only machines with 6.7.5 or higher" with:

requirements = condorversionmajor == 6 && condorversionminor == 7 &&
condorversionminorminor >= 5

Which is a level of version control not capable with the string format
currently used to indicate the version of condor running on a machine
via it's ClassAd.

Consider this my feature request to have these attributes defined
automagically on the startd.
