Patch attached. Seems to work well, but a couple of testcases
in rpmvercmp.at would be nice.

Oh, I just noticed that it changes the semantics a bit:

old:
rpm.vercmp("1.", "1") -> 1
rpm.vercmp("1..", "1.") -> 0

new:
rpm.vercmp("1.", "1") -> 0
rpm.vercmp("1..", "1.") -> 0

That's because I changed the loop from "while (*one && *two)" to
"while (*one || *two)". The results are much saner with the change,
but we probably need to stay bug compatible. What do you think?

Cheers,
  Michael.
