Sorry for the long winding email but I am really thinking that the header

get that data back ( an awesome awk/sed/grep script ) or is it lost

Lost forever. But ultimately, the data was not as useful as you think
it was. SCCS ids were only unique in the code branch that they were
part of -- S10 version 1.134 might be very different from the same file
versioned 1.134 on Solaris Nevada or Solaris 8.
Hg doesn't version files separately like SCCS under Teamware did. We
*could* build hg version numbers (for the entire repository) into ELF
binaries, or even stash them into headers via #ident, but it turns out
that this is a major bit of trouble (it forces binaries to be different
that might otherwise be identical, for example), and so we have decided
not to do it.
