Let us know if you have any pointers on how to do this in an
autoconf/automake-friendly way. Most times when I see something like
this, the code to update the revision is buried deep inside some
script or Makefile, or it only works from a fresh checkout.

We could add "$Rev$" to the banner (and enable that keyword in the SVN
properties), but that doesn't catch changes made to shared files (e.g.
the core megatec protocol functions), since it only increments when
the file with the keyword is changed.
