I knew you'd say that!

I'm not sure... this is *such* a tiny fix and so irrelevant for most
people... and "Rivet watchers" may feel that they need to upgrade when
actually they don't, or wonder why Genser hasn't installed both 2.1.2
and 2.1.3 (they would be identical installations).

There's a case here to change the way we use version numbers, but I
would prefer to use a postN or 4th digit for such teeny things...
