I've been doing a lot of stuff with virtualenv recently (blech), and have been hit by an issue where sometimes a package needs testtools >= 0.9.11, but the version installed on my system is "snapshot" because it's the daily build (which, for whatever reason, can't get the revno).

This patch adds the version number to the string "snapshot" so it can be used properly.
