Cannot build from non-svn sources

[Marco Sirabella]

Hi,

I believe this was discussed previously, but it is not possible to compile GNU APL straight from the tar source due to buildtag.hh requiring an svn tag to exist, and the tar archive does not include svn information

$ ./configure
...
configure: creating ./src//buildtag.hh
svn: E155007: '/tmp/tmp.7tYePl5Ssi/trunk-git/src/Archive.cc' is not a working copy

src/buildtag:

...
ARCHIVE_SVNINFO=`svn info Archive.cc | grep "Last Changed Rev" \
                                     | awk -F : '{print $2;}'`
...

Not sure what the fix for this should be, but it's hard to package this up (on gentoo) when it requires the revision control data not shipped with the package to compile.
