[Sparkle] Archive file naming

[Andy Matuschak]

Sorry for the trouble, David. The parsing really is much improved in  
1.5! There are even unit tests to prove it...

But yes, if you use CFBundleVersion for an internal version (your SVN/ 
Git/Bzr/Hg revision?) and CFBundleShortVersionString for your external  
version, Sparkle will do the right thing. Use the  
sparkle:shortVersionString attribute on your enclosure in your appcast  
to designate the human-readable version name.
