This is the idea that makes the most sense to me with engines like Crafty that
will be updated more then once a year.  Bascily, SDDF has to just see the fact
there isn't all that much that differnt from 17.7 and 17.11 just some big bug
fixes, while from 16.x and 17.x has a lot of big changes.  Basicly, if it was my
rating list I would just measure the main version.
