* include/rw/_config.h: Update _RWSTD_VER macro
to correctly reflect the library version.
We discussed automating this once before but didn't make a decision:
http://stdcxx.markmail.org/message/bso6dno3fzm64pfa. I think we ought
to give some more thought to automating it so I created an enhancement
request to remind us: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-887.
In GNU-style distributions, it's updated in only one place -- in the
configure.in or configure.ac file and propagated from there to other
files. Still requires a manual edit but at least in only one place
to reduce maintenance. I don't see how it can be done automatically.
We also update it in just one place: include/rw/_config.h,
but as Travis' patch demonstrates, it can be error prone.
One idea for automating it that Mark brought up in the
thread above was to let the top level GNUakefile extract
it from the value the $HeadURL$ Subversion keyword.
