Back out my change from 6 April PDT that added a new dlversion()

function.  It was an ill-considered feature.  It didn't solve the
problem I wanted it to solve.   And it added Yet Another Version
Number that would have to be maintained at every release point.
I'm nuking it now before anybody grows too fond of it.
