Given that this information isn't updated for every bug which is fixed, how can
I rely on the version number alone? You will never remove the human factor.
How can I know that someone is running a release or a CVS version? I suppose
we could have a constant that would be filled in when the user does a pull from
CVS or something and have this value printed.
