Tramp needs its version string at different places. Therefore, the
version is kept only in configure.ac. During the run of ./configure, the
files trampver.el and trampver.texi are generated. An additional file
tramp-pkg.el could be generated as well.

Alternatively, the package manager could retrieve the Version: header
from another file but tramp.el. trampver.el carries it already.

Best regards, Michael.
