OK.
Would you please rewrite 'configure.in' like this?

        [configure.in]
        +-------------------------------------
        |
        |. ./VERSION
        |...
        |AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(global, $VERSION)
                |
                v
        |AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(global, 4.1)

And please remake 'configure' using recons.sh script.
(You need automake and autoconf.)

% sh reconf.sh
% cd /tmp/build
% <build dir>/configure --srcdir=<build dir>

I have already rewritten cvs version.
Thank you.
