    The problem is that it makes it harder to read the version number,
    which is important.

We can put a space after the *.  That would make it very easy
to read the version number.  Or we could insert the * before
the dash.

    If this is actually important (I'm not convinced really), I'd much
    prefer something like a variation on what Kim suggestion, e.g.:

       **CVS:1.21

That might be good.
