It might cause trouble to those forcing SUBLEVEL to a given version such
as .0 to avoid exposing the exact stable version. I guess we should
instead try to integrate a test on the value itself and cap it at 255.
Something like this looks more robust to me, it will use SUBLEVEL for
values 0 to 255 and 255 for any larger value:
- expr $(VERSION) \* 65536 + 0$(PATCHLEVEL) \* 256 + 0$(SUBLEVEL)); \
+ expr $(VERSION) \* 65536 + 0$(PATCHLEVEL) \* 256 + 255 \* (0$(SUBLEVEL) > 255) + 0$(SUBLEVEL) * (0$(SUBLEVEL \<= 255)); \
