best method to store template version

[Mike Bradley]

If it's version number and date, you want it to be imported when you import
the template. And handy for those wanting to check it. So I'd put it in a
User Variable. The template author would have to remember to update the
variable when s/he edited the template, but for everyone else the transfer
of the information would be transparent and easily accessible.
