Maybe it's an idea to append a version generated with the output of
git-describe, output looks something like:

1.5.0-20080706-203-g2b36577

for the describing current state of the geda/gaf repo.

Resulting in maybe something like:

geda-gaf-win32-1.5.0-20080706-203-g2b36577.[zip,exe]

This way we know exactly at which point in the repo the binary was
build.

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.
