   I think I've found how to prevent prior versions from being saved (per Codex, turning off the constant 'wp_post_revisions' in \htdocs\wordpress\wp-inclues\default-constants.php), but how do we get rid of the blizzard of revisions already there? There doesn't seem to be any mechanism -- even to eliminate them manually, one-by-one.

   You can delete the post revisions by running a sql statement in your database.
   If you have access to phpmyadmin, you simply run this:

   DELETE FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type = “revision”;

   This will delete all of the posts marked as revisions.
   Here's an article with lots of details
