Huh ... that doesn't make any sense, because the previous shell-script
version also spits up on non-numeric VERSION. How did it work before?
[... thinks ...] Oh: it didn't, because we didn't use to try to call
this during distprep. We'd not want "snapshot" as the version number
in postgres.bki anyway. So we need to change the makefile to not rely
on VERSION for this, I guess. Will fix.
