Lotsa numbers

[Daniel van Vugt]

Oh, I see where the confusion is.

No, Mir is not on daily releases because it affects too many other 
projects and we need to manually coordinate ABI/API changes for each 
release. Mir is on weekly-ish releases, all of which have proper version 
numbers. Hence, only one tarball :)
