I don't see why this needs to be kept in CVS. It should be generated when you build. Add some code to configure/Makefiles to check if the build is in a CVS tree, work out the newest Entries line and call local/Version-Munge.pl to fix up the version strings.
If you include a CVS timestamp in the cryptic seconds-from-the-epoch format you can keep the "parsable by .s." criterion. e.g. the above 2004/07/01 would give 5.1.2.1088640000 my CVS would get 5.1.2.1088318449
You can then say to people - "that is fixed in CVS from 5.1.2.1088766622"
