// Class NcVersion
// Facility to provide version information of the current release.
// Instead of using separate branches and tags for the various related
// sub-packages like e.g. IcePack, which may complicate the management
// of the complete NCFS framework, the GIT revision tag identifier of
// the Master branch of the total repository is used as a reference instead.
// Invokation of NcVersion::Data() will always indicate a.o. the version of
// a specific release. In case one wants a previous release, just select
// the desired version (as provided by NcVersion::Data()), check what the
// corresponding GIT revision tag is, and "pull" that specific revision tag
// from the GIT repository for all packages.
// This will always provide you with an integral working environment.
//
// The current version in the master branch may not yet have a GIT revision tag,
// since development may still be going on before a version is frozen and released.
// However, the master branch will always provide an integral working environment.
//
// As usual the version number consists of a major and minor version indicator.
// Major version updates indicate changes that may have impact on the actual
// coding of other (sub)packages, whereas minor version updates only indicate
// improvements or extensions that are fully backward compatible.
