 	It sounds good to me to match the version numbers that PHP knows 
about so we can gain an API function to compare versions.

 	Will plugins get versioned so as to be tied to major releases, and 
minor if necessary? ie. a regular current plugin would be versioned 1.0, 
but if a plugin needed something in 1.0.1, it would be numbered 1.0.1, and 
if you are only running 1.0, it will generate a warning that it probably 
won't work, or should it just keep itself disabled, if the version number 
is too small?
