Sure, just change VERSION_EXTRA in Makefile.global to anything you want
for a local version number.

The new scheme doesn't allow for this, I'm afraid, but then neither did
the old scheme.  Both of them have a global version number for INN that's
compiled into libinn.  In either case, you'd have to modify nnrpd to
change the version number.
