The tar balls are meant to be the easy download for each separate addon.

"proper versioning" is something I think you can put aside for the
addons. In gentoo syntax I'd say they are all -9999 in the version,
even those who care to advance the version number from time to time
don't seem to do so when they add a new feature but more when they
remember the version number in the head of the PHP file ;-)
