Remove leading 'version' from date

I'm going to start prepending a 'v' to the version tags, so explicitly writing 'version'
when the date displays the version is redundant.  So it's been removed.
Version 0.1.4 (minor changes)

* Updates the makefile to generate date and version information
  automatically with 'make ver'
* Moves material from shared repositories into this repo to free us up
  from worring about interop while we're doing the first real draft.
* Adds some material to the README file (rss feed location)
* Moves the authors into a separate tex file and appendix for convenience
