The goal here is to allow extension authors to maintain their version
number in the Makefile rather than in the Makefile and in the control
file separately. Having the same version number in more than one place
never eases maintenance.
Oh and in PostgreSQL sources cases, that would add like 36 spots where
to manually maintain our major version string. I'm not eager to do that.
