If you follow development sources through CVS, it can be a good idea, but
using AC_REVISION() solves that issue.

:     configure (generated by GNU Autoconf AC_ACVERSION for
: AC_PACKAGE_STRING) AC_PACKAGE_VERSION

AC_PACKAGE_VERSION is part of AC_PACKAGE_STRING, and I think it will look
strange when you get the same version number twice like

  ... (GNU Emax 19.34) 19.34

Using the PACKAGE string that doesn't contain the version will perhaps look
better.
