I don't know if this is the best way or not, but you can create a
dummy input file (contents don't matter) like 'svn-version.in' and add
it to your project. Then change it's custom build step by
right-clicking on it and choosing Settings. Set the custom build step
to something like:

cmd.exe /c command-to-create-header-file > $(ProjDir)\svn-version.h

and the output file to the header file like:

$(ProjDir)\svn-version.h
