Version header¶

Bugfixing is most often easier, if the reporter can supply detailed information of the version affected. Thus it is very useful to have this information compiled into the final program. In version.tar.bz2 there is a collection of CMake scripts and template files allowing to have this done at build time - building from a local working copy or when packaging for final release.

Unfortunately these scripts redo the rebuild of version.h all the time. So there is still potential for optimization.
