I can see that being a good idea. But I don't see Toms ./configure
solution working.

What we could do is have the msvc build scripts edit the file and
replace the version with something it reads from configure.in when run.
This would require that we zap the old "win32.mak" method of buildnig
win32 stuff, which we can't do just yet but IMHO can eventually do.

The other option is, I would think, to break out the version #defines
into a separate headerfile that's used on all platforms, and use that
one *instead* of configure to set it.
