Ok. Although if we make it configurable, we can use it for
lclversion.pas as well.

Ok. Needs update when saving the package.

Ok. Needs update when compiling the package. So the IDE and
lazbuild can do that. fpmake cannot.

To make compare operations simple I suggest to use the lclversion
scheme:

const
  lcl_major = 1;
  lcl_minor = 7;
  lcl_release = 0;
  lcl_patch = 0;
  lcl_fullversion = ((lcl_major *  100 + lcl_minor) * 100 +
lcl_release) * 100 + lcl_patch;
 lcl_version = '1.7';
