MM-8488

shift versioning from being dynamically determined via SVN commit number to being statically set within
the Makefile by the person generating the library release.

Moving forward the version number will simply be generated by this formula:

number of svn commits base + number of git commits after the import + 1

the original numbering scheme was not well thought out, and I'm stuck with it now. Others have asked
what the rationale was, and there it is.
