If you fetched v0.99.7b tag and built it, hopefully it should
say 0.99.7b otherwise you found a big bug.

If you pulled from "master" branch, then --version would still
say 0.99.7; I agree it is confusing.  On the other hand, I do
not think we would want to increment the version string with
every little changes, so...
