 Prototype:

 Where a and b are arbitrary version strings
 
 This functions returns a number:
 
-* Greate than 0 if version a is greater than version b
+* Greater than 0 if version a is greater than version b
 * Equal to 0 if both version are equals
 * Less than 0 if version a is less than version b
 
 Example:
 
     if versioncmp('2.6-1', '2.4.5') > 0 {
         notice('2.6-1 is > than 2.4.5')
     }
