I changed the file src/CoCoA/release-files/version so that the 3rd component was 3b (instead of just 3).
CoCoA appeared to build fine, and all tests pass.
Now I must check the warning near the start of the version file (which said numerical values are necessary for the components of the version).

I have now checked where the values of COCOA5_VER_MAJ etc are used.
I believe it is safe if they contain alphanumerics; other chars are risky (e.g. it would be a bad idea to assign a value like ; rm -rf *)
Really we should add a small script that checks that the values are just alphanumeric.

I have added a safety check. It seems to work well enough.
Tomorrow I'll check it in.

I have checked in: better doc in release-files/version, new target in Makefile, new program check-version-defines.
