(makeVersion [4, 9, 0, 0] <= makeVersion [4, 9]) == False

I have hit a strange bug in cabal project. Zeroes in Version have meaning, which is not logical (at least mathematically). See this example:

import Data.Version
makeVersion [4, 9, 0, 0] <= makeVersion [4, 9]
False

I propose to add zeroes to the version with less numbers, so they could be equally compared.
