Automake projects use option 3 - they create version.texi with @set
commands, then @include that into the main file.  Should be fairly easy
to crib the makefile magic from an autotooled project if you want to go

I'm fine with any of the options (3 is nicest, but also the most work).
I do agree, however, that if we are going to include version information
(which I find useful), then we want it in both pdf and html outputs.
