I agree that explicit versioning would be a good idea -- doing
explicit upgrades at well-defined points is good headache prevention.

And I agree that the config file is a good place to put it.

I'll probably have time to whip up a patch later today. I think I'll
call the old "old" format 0, the old "new" format 1, and then use
successive integers from then on. I'll make a single version bump for
the format changes you've alreay applied, and re-do the
format-changing patches you haven't applied yet so that they have
version bumping integrated.
