Ok, I'll modify xffm to conform since the $MICRO field is the only
number which actually means anything for me. I'm using the $MICRO for an
absolute number which indicates the number of commits listed in the
ChangeLog file. I find that more usefull and easier to keep track of by
using xffm/utils/count_files to do the counting.

I thought only admins could add files to releases, but anybody could
upload files to the directory from where files are added to releases...

Perfecto. Any guidelines I should follow for creating illustrative
snapshots (image size, icon theme, etc)?
