Are you sure that this will work? My reading of that section is that the 
$Revision$ keyword would be the "best" one to use in config.h.win32, 
together with some run-time mangling of the substituted value to return a 
plain revision number. But it says:

   Revision

     This keyword describes the last known revision in which this file
     changed in the repository, and looks something like $Revision: 144 $.

That means that it will only be changed when config.h.win32 changes, i.e. 
it's not the checked-out revision number, and ignores changes to the rest 
of the code.

Am I missing something?

Cheers, Chris.
