I used some time PRCS (http://prcs.sourceforge.net/) which has Format
keyword for this situation.

----
/* $Format: "#define SVN_REVISION $Revision$" $ */
#define SVN_REVISION xxx
----
Format keyword would not change, but the next line is replaced with
the the text in the quotes. Keywords in quotes are replaced without $
and keyword name.
This would be nice feature in subversion...
