This has been bugging me -- when someone checks out trunk, does a build

think we should change it so that the value is unique for each branch, or
at least distinct
from any release.
Any suggestions for what would be a good value?
Martin,
If all you care about is detecting what branch the results are for, why
can't we just dump $HeadURL$ of the GNUmakefile to the top of the build
results?
Yes, I think that's what Mark meant. I like the idea I just wasn't
sure I wasn't missing some downside since we'd be taking the macro
out of $TOPDIR/include/rw/_config.h and moving it to the generated
config header in $BUILDDIR. I.e., it won't be possible to grep for
the macro in the freshly downloaded/extracted sources to find the
version -- see my comments below:

But unless someone does come up with a problem I'll go ahead and
cook up something along these lines.
