I got as far as writing a program that did scan the working copy using
svn_client_status. It took about 1-2 seconds to run on my not-so-fast
machine. My vague plan was a build process something like:

   - build the libraries
   - build svnversion (my new program)
   - run svnversion to produce a C header file containing the version string
   - build svn with one file including the new header

Version strings looked like

   4231
   4228:4231
   4231M
   4228:4231M

for single revision, mixed revision, single revision modifed and mixed
revision modified. It handled switched working copies as well.

I never got as far as working out how to integrate it into the build
system, or how to handle the regression tests that see the version
number. I could dig it out if people are interested.
