twaking the $VERSION of the make dist targets

[Brian J. Murrell]

Hi All,

Is there any way at all to tweak the $VERSION that used in creating the
distdir (tarballs)?  While I don't want to change the actual version of
a given package, I do want to add an identifier to the tarball.  Such an
identifier would be introduced by a configure switch and thus subst'd
into the Makefile.

Thanx,
b.
