The format is that of the traditional Mac version number--I don't have a
formal description handy, but the possible formats include e.g. 1.2.3,
1.2.3a4, 1.2.3b4, 1.2.3d4.

UInt32 CFBundleGetVersionNumber(CFBundleRef bundle);
returns the numeric encoding of the version number, like you would see
in a 'vers' resource, and suitable for numeric comparison.

We generally use the results of CFBundleGetVersionNumber() to compare
versions of bundles, so yes, this would be suitable.
