           Summary: RFE: relax conditions on the (software) version:
                    parameter
           Product: Publican

Description of problem:
The version: parameter (often set through <productnumber> in the Book_Info.xml
file) is presently limited to digits and dots. This prevents setting useful
values like "6-Beta". 

This value isn't used for the version number of the package in which the book
ships; it's used as part of the *name* of that package, so it only needs to be
constrained to characters permissible in the N of the NVR, not the (stricter)
V.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6-3

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set "version: 6-Beta" in the publican.cfg file of a book
2. Attempt to build or package the book

Actual results:
Build fails because version: contains letters

Expected results:
Build succeeds
