[ofw] [PATCH] Bump up CI and AL interface version numbers

You set the version number at the end of the development cycle, immediately before the release, rather than continually bumping it up with every check-in.  Our next release is 2.0, not 13.0 or 1505 - the WinOF version is only changing once for this release.  The same principles apply whether you're talking about a software package, a single library, or a driver.

The problem you had is that you tried to pull part of a development tree and have it work with a different part of the tree.  An SVN check-in is not a release, and doesn't have a version number associated with it.
