   OK.  Remaining questions:

    - What's the official way to distinguish Emacs-21.2 from the Emacs-21.3
      pre-releases (Emacs-21.2.9x)?

    - What's the official way to distinguish Emacs-21.3 from the current
      development versions (Emacs-21.3.50.X)?

For pre-releases and development versions, emacs-version contains four
digits, for official releases, it contains three (the last digit each
time only makes sense to the user).

Sincerely,

Luc.
