Created an attachment (id=149)

New version comparison algorithm for testing.

I've updated the algorithm slightly. Now it contains a kind of "blacklist" for
"volatile version markers". This allows the algorithm to detect that a version
like "1.0RC2" is older than "1.0".

The test suite has been updated as well to test some of the "problematic"
versions.

Here are the change notes:

MOD: Updated version comparison algorithm to treat some version appendixes as
     "volatile". Volatile means that WPKG would claim that a revision witout
     that suffix is newer than the one which carries this suffix. Usually a
     version is assumed to be higher if it has an additional suffix but in case
     of RC (Release Candidate), M (Milestone) and I (Integration) releases it's
     usually the opposite way around. For example:
     A        B              Result
     "1.0RC2" "1.0"          B us newer (A is an "RC" version)
     "1.5"    "1.5I3656"     A is newer (B is an "I"/intgration version)
     "1.5"    "1.5M3656"     A is newer (B is an "M"/milestone version)
     but (still)
     "1.5"    "1.5u3656"     B is newer (B is an update version)


Any feedback welcome.
