versionfile:
        svnversion . >> versionfile.new
        cmp versionfile versionfile.new || mv versionfile.new versionfile

I believe that should work with every modern version of make (I've seen
versions which won't re-check the timestamp on versionfile after
executing the rebuild rule, but I think that's ancient history).
svnversion would run on every build, but that's it, and repeated
invocations of svnversion should be quite fast for a Subversion project
tree.
