[Scummvm-devel] Branched.

Well, it's sensible in that regard (OT: argh, the FLAC patch. I am 100%
against this 'yet another audio format' and 'yet another scaler' thing
:P), but my point is mainly the below.

Yes, true. I just want to make a clear distinction between a development
tree and the stable tree. Expecially assuming (well, hoping :) that we
follow through with the idea of doing more regular point releases. As
you say later on. That is my main problem here, distinguising between
the two. And I really don't think that a higher version number makes
that clear enough. How about 0.7devel then?
