[plt-scheme] PLaneT: Is there any way that I can control the version number?

Yes and no. You can set the 'version field in your package's info.ss,
which will allow you to indicate that your package corresponds to
version 8 of the original package. But the 1.3 number is controlled
exclusively by planet; the point of that number is entirely to
communicate between-package-revisions compatibility information, so we
purposely chose not to allow package authors to set it themselves.
