Since I posted about this issue last week, and since GraphicsMagick
has been using a version.sh script with computed version numbers since
late 2002, you can be sure that there is strong support from me for
this proposal. Thanks for describing the issues so succinctly.
Version number and package information are best obtained in a JIT
fashion so that it is always available when needed (and not before)
and there is a minimum of regeneration and building due to an
increment in the version information.
