Daniel P. Berrange 28a6bd6cf4 Bump version 1.0 to simplify Windows MSI versioning 
The Windows MSI product version is restricted to a 3 component
version number, whose fields are a max value of 255.255.65536

Since the main virt-viewer version takes up 3 components already,
we have the munge the micro version together with the first
component of the release version. eg we have

   $VERSION[0].$VERSION[1].($VERSION[2] << 8 + $RELEASE[0])

This causes problems for RHEL which needs to have 2-component
release versions to deal with z-stream builds.  eg a RHEL
version might be virt-viewer-0.5.6-2.el6_4.3 and we've
no easy way of adding the final '.3' to the Windows product
version.

If we reduce the primary virt-viewer version to just 2 components,
then we can leave the 3rd component for exclusive use by the RPM
release number. eg so we'd make product version up using

   $VERSION[0].$VERSION[1].($RELEASE[0] << 8 + $RELEASE[1])

In course of normal development, we'd increase the $VERSION[0]
for each release. ie next release is 1.0, then 2.0, then 3.0.
This means we retain the ability to put out "stable" branch
releases for any historical version by doing 1.1, 1.2 instead
of having to re-add a 3rd component.

  Virt Viewer
  ===========

Virt Viewer provides a graphical viewer for the guest OS
display. At this time is supports guest OS using the VNC
or SPICE protocols. Further protocols may be supported in
the future as user demand dicatates. The viewer can connect
directly to both local and remotely hosted guest OS, optionally
using SSL/TLS encryption.

Virt Viewer can be built with either GTK2 or GTK3, with the
default option currently being GTK2. The choice can be made
with:

   ./configure --with-gtk=3.0  (or =2.0)

Virt Viewer uses the GTK-VNC (>= 0.4.3) widget to provide a
display of the VNC protocol, which is available from

  http://gtk-vnc.sourceforge.net/

Virt Viewer uses the SPICE-GTK (>= 0.22) widget to provide a
display of the SPICE protocol, which is available from:

  http://spice-space.org/page/Spice-Gtk

Use of either SPICE-GTK or GTK-VNC can be disabled at time
of configure, with --without-gtk-vnc or --without-spice-gtk
respectively.

Virt Viewer uses libvirt to lookup information about the
guest OS display. This is available from

  http://libvirt.org/

Further information about the Virt Viewer application can be
found on the Virt Manager website:
