Does it really make sense to keep this version in the config.nmake, as 
thats a file where the common developer could change things.

I don't think this version should be changed by the common developer, 
but only by the wiretap developer.

Maybe there's a better place for this changes/settings? Maybe some 
header file both "roots" will use?

I wondered for this version number a while ago, as I didn't get a reason 
for this, keeping it 0.0 all the time ;-)
