There is a good chance that config_xxx.h will no longer be an
installed header file at some point, as it's really only intended for
internal use when compiling the source code of the project itself. At
the moment, the string XXX_VERSION is also defined in the header file
ConfigXxx.h, which is the intended place for #defines that users might
want access to. It's going to take some work to get XXX_SVN_REV into
that file, too, since the SVN revision is only known at configure time
(also, you will need to have the command "svnversion" in your path to
set this variable), but it will happen at some point. We could
accelerate that if there is a need. In the long-term, we plan to offer
standard methods in all projects that will return the version strings
of each project and its dependencies.

Cheers,

Ted
