I'll assume you mean "make" with no arguments. You should do a "make newvers"
then a "make" with no arguments.
The reason is that the Beta-1 kit uses the CGD make patches rather than
my own, or modificiations of the CGD patches, like the Alpha kits did.
The reasoning on the Alpha-1 kit was "get it running". The reasoning on the
Alpha-2 and Alpha-3 kits was "make a new version for each "config".
Chris' reasoning was that with sources, you might get new versions without
a new config because of source changes. I don't necessarily agree here,
but weight of argument was pro Chris' approach.
