It was an arbitrary choice on my part. I don't have anything against the 
date for version, but I don't know how to automate it on the subversions 
server. I'll look into it. In the mean time, how about I bump it to 
1.99.0?

Hmmm, I wonder if it just using a script tied to checking out 
configure.in....

Won't hurt to have it in the tarball. Then he doesn't have to keep track 
of the file, although debian might make that easier than redhat. Once I 
get some more bandwidth (modems suck ;-), I'm planning on getting on the 
debian bandwagon.
