Except that keywords are only expanded when the file containing the
keyword changes. This is the nature of mixed revision working copies.
In the FAQ entry that Jani quoted, the Makefile entry listed
specifically rebuilds the svn_version.c file anytime 'make' is run,
which has the appropriate effect.
