Adding current svn revision to source automatically

I'd like to have svn add the current version of a directory to some C
source code, something like

#DEFINE PROGRAM_VERSION 1234

or

const unsigned long program_version = 1234;

Is there a way to do that? Googling came up with two not quite right
alternatives:

- svn itself can add the current version of the file to the file, but
that only works if I change the file every time.

- svnversion utility can return the global version, and the makefile
can add it in during the compile, but it won't appear in the source.
Builder who just get the source and not svn repository access can't
run svnversion, can they?

Is there a standard way to do this? Is there a better forum?
