Public bug reported:

7.1.31-rc was the first release to introduce new version numbering
scheme.

It turns out using a dash as part of the version was a stupid idea. This
is not allowed in RPM. (Workaround: strip the -rc part, it has no
significance, it is just informational.) In DEB it is possible, but has
side effects and is frowned upon.

We should instead use tilde: 7.1.32~rc.

TODO:

 * Fix dashes to tildes in m4/pandora_vc_build.m4
 * Change tagging instructions at http://wiki.drizzle.org/Create_Tarballs
