That was another idea, but I thought a sufficient hash would be a very
long version number from the start and also would not necessarily
increase as updates are applied, or tell us simply which updates have
been applied when people ask for help, so I went with multiplying
primes.

But both have their merits.  Hash, CRC or primes are fine by me.
