I definitly did not like that either.. Hmm.

Question: Can I assume that configure.in stays the way it is now? In the way
that if I could just extract the line "VERSION='xyz'" from it, that will
continue to work? It might be possible to do something around that. If not,
then does anybody else have an idea of how to do it since autoconf won't
work?

I thought it *was* already centralised in 7.0, but back then it was in a
header file (version.h), which made it cross-platform... I'm sure there is
some advantage of having it in configure.in, but it does make it a *lot*
harder to support it on Win32, with it's very limited scripting environment
(by default).
