I notice the format of sys.version has changed. Since sys.version_info
lies, and sys.subversion isn't supported, could this please not be
changed so much?

Old:
IronPython 1.0.2453 on .NET 2.0.50727.42
New:
IronPython 1.0 (1.0.61005.1977) on .NET 2.0.50727.42

On another related matter, there really is no useful way to ask "what
version of IronPython is the user running" that I can see. Ideally,
IronPython would also support sys.subversion in some way, at least -
even if it has to synthesise the values. But *please* don't just copy
the sys.subversion values from CPython - actually make it relevant to
the IronPython release!
