[Bioperl-l] Bio::Root::Version functionality is in.

It's an interpolation issue:

`perl -pi -e 's/@@VERSION@@/foo/;' $_` isn't right, since @VERSION doesn't
exist

`perl -pi -e 's/\@\@VERSION\@\@/foo/;' $_` also isn't quite right, since
what the shell sees is the first invocation above

`perl -pi -e 's/\\\@\\\@VERSION\\\@\\\@/foo;' $_` would work, if you
wanted it to.

Huh.  the -i switch without an extension should leave .bak files.
