But it would be even better if the build system knew what was the intent
of the build.
There's a difference when building a revision just to run `make test` on
it, and building it to do `make install`. In the former there's no need
for a real version in version.o, only in the latter.
Maybe RELASE=1. Not a release from the point of view of a maintainer,
but a release in the sense that the binaries will escape our in-tree
build.
