yeah, that would be pretty cool!

Yes :-) It might then conceal any number (between one and all)
of possible solutions.

Should I ever happen to find a sudoku, that is uniquely solveable,
where this trick helps but the other standard tricks don't, I'll
do my best to let you know... (e.g. if, in 30 years, the newsgroups
still exist, I'll post it here... :-))

Don't worry. Now, that it's in sf, the release numbers should remain
consistent from now on, even when you check in another copy from your
local cvs. If you ever intend to feed sf-versions back to your local
cvs, just use an appropriate -k... option (the one that restores the
checked-in values), and you'll never see anything but your local
numbering. Anyway, remember not to start mentioning CVS-version
strings in other files...
