Not listed in that forum post, but what i do currently, is force the version numbers to be stored in a register and set an attribute to that register so that it doesn't get synthesized away. This way you can edit the version number post compilation with the resource property editor, so if you need to up the beta number for a release you don't have to recompile your whole design. Now a days registers are basically free, especially when you are only using an 8-bit version number. Hope this helps, although you have probably already seen it from the sound of your original post.
