/**
 * Script to generate incremental Nightly build versions, based on the latest Nightly build version of that kind.
 * The version format is YYYYMMDDNN where NN is in case we need to do multiple versions in a day.
 *
 * NB. on windows, squirrel will try to parse the version number parts, including this string, into 32-bit integers,
 * which is fine as long as we only add two digits to the end...
