Thanks for all your suggestions :-)
Other suggestions like Yace XP are perhaps not so suitable for an engine, that
should run under UNIX, and Yace number 1 perhaps sounds a bit unmodest for just
yet another ...
I like Jeroen's suggestions.

Thanks. However I think, this version number is special and reserved. From
tex.web:
@d banner=='This is TeX, Version 3.14159' {printed when \TeX\ starts}
And:
"At the time of my death,
it is my intention that the then-current versions of T E X
and METAFONT be forever left unchanged, except that
the final version numbers to be reported in the “banner”
lines of the programs should become
TeX, Version $\pi$
and
METAFONT, Version $e$"
