Huh? Why do they have to stop at 1.15? What's to stop them from
going to 1.16, 1.17, 1.18 . . . 1.99, 1.100, 1.101, . . . ., 1.999,
1.1000, ... , ad infinitum?
It has to do with the structure of the old 'vers' resource and the
number of bits designated for each component. Those restrictions are
largely obsolete, since 'vers' resources were deprecated some time ago
-- application versions are typically stored as strings these days --
but some older code still manipulates them.
