cvs commit: hugs98/src version.h.in Makefile.in version.h

[Sigbjorn Finne]

Whatever you end up deciding to do here, could you
make sure that this works across platforms & doesn't introduce
unnecessary dependencies on platform-specific tools?
(As is, win32 builds are broken.)

version.h has the benefit of being simple..
