[publican-list] Is it possible to build documentation without the requirement of <productnumber>

[Eric Buruschkin]

We use publican to build pdf documentation, and have only used older
versions of publican for a while now (2.8.x).  I am now migrating the
repository of xml to a new server home and am now using a much newer
version - 4.3.2.

We never used productnumber in any way previously, and am now seemingly
forced to add one.  While this is great for packaging and documenting
different versions of software/products, this is preventing me from
publishing new documents.

I've tried different combinations of editing Book_Info.xml and publican.cfg
to leave version/productnumber empty, but to no avail.

Is there a way to bypass this requirement?  A patch I can apply?
