As well as what Sussman said, it might be nice to give several ways to get the
revision number, for example, this one:

        http://www.contactor.se/~dast/svnusers/archive-2004-03/2168.shtml

(which could definitely be adapted to be part of a Makefile invocation), as well
as the recent discussion on the SVNWCRev.exe utility from the TSVN list. Not
everyone can use Makefile's (or is running a UNIX^H^H^Hnix derivative ;)...

You should probably add something like I had in the above message about 'svn up'
and mixed revision WC's, since that will bite some people more than others.
