Reduce the number of places where the version number is hard-coded.

bindist/Mmake:
	Add `VERSION=0.6'.
	When creating a binary distribution, use `sed' to replace
	the strings `<VERSION>' and `<FULLARCH>' in the bindist.* files
	with the corresponding values.

bindist/bindist.INSTALL:
bindist/bindist.README:
bindist/bindist.README.MS-Windows:

# INSTALL - installation instructions and installation script
# for the binary distribution of Mercury.
#
# You need GNU C (2.6.3 or later) and GNU Make (3.69 or later) in order
# to use Mercury, though you don't need them to install this distribution.
#
# Step 0. Extract the files from the gzipped tar archive.
#
# Note: the mercury-*.tar.gz file itself contains
# some other .tar.gz files (lib.tar.gz, info.tar.gz).
# Do NOT mess with these nested .tar.gz files;
# they will be extracted automatically in step 2.
#
# Step 1. Run `configure'. (Just type `sh configure'.)
#
# By default, the files will be installed in the directory
# /usr/local/mercury-<VERSION>.
# If you want the files to be installed someplace else,
# use the `--prefix <directory>' option to `configure'.
#
# Step 2. Run `make install'.
# This step will copy the various files that make up the distribution
# to their final places.
#
# Step 3. Check the permissions on the installed files.
# Add /usr/local/mercury-<VERSION>/bin to your PATH, and
# add /usr/local/mercury-<VERSION>/info to your INFOPATH.
# You can also add a WWW link to the Mercury documentation in
# /usr/local/mercury-<VERSION>/lib/mercury/html to your WWW
# home page, and you may want to print out a hard-copy of the
# documentation from the DVI files in
# /usr/local/mercury-<VERSION>/lib/mercury/doc.
#
# As a short-cut, steps 1 & 2 are listed below, so they can be replaced
# by just executing this script.
sh configure &&
make install
# De-installation:
# ----------------
#
# You may eventually want to uninstall this version of Mercury
# (to free up disk space so you can install the next version ;-).
# If you installed in the default location, you can simply
# use `rm -rf /usr/local/mercury-<VERSION>' to uninstall.
