versions: Types and parsers for software version numbers.

A library for parsing and comparing software version numbers.

We like to give version numbers to our software in a myriad of different ways. Some ways follow strict guidelines for incrementing and comparison. Some follow conventional wisdom and are generally self-consistent. Some are just plain asinine. This library provides a means of parsing and comparing any style of versioning, be it a nice Semantic Version like this:

1.2.3-r1+git123

...or a monstrosity like this:

2:10.2+0.0093r3+1-1

Please switch to Semantic Versioning if you aren't currently using it. It provides consistency in version incrementing and has the best constraints on comparisons.
