That's what ruby from the svn checkout
http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/branches/ruby_1_8 thinks is
it's patchlevel.

| # cat ruby_1_8/version.h
| #define RUBY_VERSION "1.8.6"
| #define RUBY_RELEASE_DATE "2007-10-26"
| #define RUBY_VERSION_CODE 186
| #define RUBY_RELEASE_CODE 20071026
| #define RUBY_PATCHLEVEL 5000
| 
| #define RUBY_VERSION_MAJOR 1
| #define RUBY_VERSION_MINOR 8
| #define RUBY_VERSION_TEENY 6
| #define RUBY_RELEASE_YEAR 2007
| #define RUBY_RELEASE_MONTH 10
| #define RUBY_RELEASE_DAY 26

| #ifdef RUBY_EXTERN
| RUBY_EXTERN const char ruby_version[];
| RUBY_EXTERN const char ruby_release_date[];
| RUBY_EXTERN const char ruby_platform[];
