So we break them. We make them add a line that ignores any line that
starts with a '#'. For crying out loud, the advnatages of including
the version number in thee files far outweights the minimal
inconvenience it would cause to people parsing them.
Telling people to compare file dates, file sizes, or whatever,
rediculous.
