Re: RFE: allow for computed version number

[Bob Friesenhahn]

Since I posted about this issue last week, and since GraphicsMagick 
has been using a version.sh script with computed version numbers since 
late 2002, you can be sure that there is strong support from me for 
this proposal.  Thanks for describing the issues so succinctly.

Version number and package information are best obtained in a JIT 
fashion so that it is always available when needed (and not before) 
and there is a minimum of regeneration and building due to an 
increment in the version information.
