I think that when (sic) we switch to an scm system that has absolute, easily identifiable versions, such as svn, we can omit this. As long as multiple builds of things with the same tag (or lack thereof) are possible this tag isn't so helpful. We nearly have automatic builds going - I believe that these build branches not tags and that we need some kind of identifier. Andy - is that right?

This comment may be out of line, but I'm not sure it's a good idea to stop using BUILD_VERSION. While very verbose & sometimes confusing, we very frequently build multiple versions of lustre from the same source base. These mostly vary in small ways, which patches for bugfixes are added, etc. In such cases the LUSTRE_VERSION_STRING doesn't change & the BUILD_VERSION appearing at runtime in server logs in startup msgs is the only way to identify precisely what is running.
