I am not overly happy that it makes for inoperative code in the case of
a read-only repository that autogen.sh tries catering for.  Can/should
autogen.sh pass some sort of environment variable that this can be
picked up from in the shell code executed for getting the version
number?  Or is this available in some m4 variable one could pick up?

Maybe at least stick a #FIXIT comment into autogen.sh (and possibly
configure.ac) so that someone bumping into this has less trouble
figuring out what went wrong?
