You could use the option '--version-number' to Compile to override the
version number in the recipe. I'd suggest using integer suffix, as I don't
know how our GuessLatest algorithm will handle other suffixes, but you can
always try. Actually other suffixes would likely work, but as I can't
guarantee anything I wont recommend it.

Example:
Compile foo 1.2.3 --version-number 1.2.3.1
