+
+Justification from Karl Heuer:
+
+  Yes, it's possible that 1.007 was meant to sort earlier than 1.01a,
+  but anyone who's using that style is also going to want 1.507 to sort
+  earlier than 1.51a, and I think that making opposite assumptions for
+  these two examples is just asking for trouble.  People who want their
+  version numbers to be sorted "floating-point style" should simply make
+  the digits strings have fixed width; 1.007 < 1.010a unambiguously.)
+
+Run this test like this:
 
-    default:
-      return state;
+  gcc -DTESTING_STRVERSCMP -Wall strverscmp.c
+  sed -n '/^BEGIN-DATA/,/END-DATA/p' strverscmp.c|grep -v -e -DATA | ./a.out
