ok - mike and max both tried to explain how to fix the version number within 
the *ebuild file, but having pretty much 0 python skillz it went straight 
over my head.  I replaced the code with the number, can someone show me 
exactly what i should have?

Call the ebuild afterstep-2.00_beta1.ebuild (notice the underscore instead
