[mv] MV4 beta 2: cosmetic bug in the install process (with patch. :)

[Mark Stosberg <mark@summersault.com>]

******    message to minivend-users from Mark Stosberg <mark@summersault.com>     ******


When installing MV 4 beta 2, the version isn't be displayed correctly in
the intro:

<snip>
su-2.02# perl Makefile.PL
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
MiniVend cannot be run as root. Which user should run MiniVend?
[minivend] mvend

 MiniVend V$VERSION
</snip>

Below is a patch:

Beyond that, MV 4 beta 2 installed and worked with minimal fuss, as did 
MiniMate-4.0alpha8.0.1m_b2

However, this version is still not performing inserts for me (with
Postgres 6.5.3) and when I select a key to edit, the fields for that
value come up blank rather than having the values for that key. Also, I
think it'd be a nice feature to be able to turn off the ability of users
to edit the primary key column (since they can be generated by default
in a unique sequence). It seemed like this might be possible by putting
the primary key in both in the "columns allowed" _and_ in the "columns
not allowed" fields of the ACL area of MiniMate, but that seems
counter-intuitive. :) 

   Thanks,
