It certainly makes it easier, but putting the *current* version number 
into a file isn't going to work... the version number is calculated at 
the same time that the deltas are calculated, so you can't modify the 
file with that information.

Using the date, author or commit identifier is a better bet, or perhaps 
a user variable if there's a frontend process doing the committing.
