# - Write version information into the source code
#
# Add an unconditional target to the Makefile which checks the current
# SHA of the source directory and write to a header file if and *only*
# if this has changed (thus we avoid unnecessary rebuilds). By having
# this in the Makefile, we get updated version information even though
# we haven't done any reconfiguring.
#
# The time it takes to probe the VCS for this information and write it
# to the miniature file in negligable.
#
# If the build type is Debug, then we only write a static version
# information as it gets tiresome to rebuild the project everytime one
# makes changes to any of the unit tests.
