Follow Mr Knuth's technique
Call this one 1.4 which would be followed by
1.41 then
1.414 ... 1.4142136 ad infinitum

This has the advantages of 

a. being the square root of 2, the number so many want
b. The next version number will always be known..


And when GEGL comes along, this will be an exponential jump, so the numbers will begin at
2.7 (which will the version of GTK+ at the time)
2.71 ... 2.7182818 

It's a cold, foggy grey miserable day...not much else to do :-)
