One way to solve it:

In a project of mine, I have a little shell script that I run just before
releases that I enter the version number in. It then stores that in the
proper header file.

The configure.in then has a construct that extracts the version number from
that said header file, in a manner like:

VERSION=`sed -ne 's/^#define VERSION "\(.*\)"/\1/p' ${srcdir}/include/version.h`
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(project,$VERSION)

... it works.
