Wine Version String

[Robert Lunnon]

Somewhere between Version 0.9.23 and Version 0.9.25 the version string format 
changed from

Wine X.X.X

to
wine-X.X.X

Can we please decide on a version string format and stick to it so packaging 
can be reasonably automated.

I think that's a result of the new git version magic, for example:

$ ./wine --version
wine-0.9.25-gef2c062

Presumably the gef2c062 allows one to identify the exact sources used to build 
that version, but for release builds just the tag is sufficient.
