   Version - Versioning system..

   The versioning system represents how versions are compared, represented
   and how dependencies are evaluated. As a general rule versioning
   systems are not compatible unless specifically allowed by the 
   TestCompatibility query.
   
   The versions are stored in a global list of versions, but that is just
   so that they can be queried when someone does 'apt-get -v'. 
   pkgSystem provides the proper means to access the VS for the active
   system.
