You get a point there. But you must find a way to get the svn version 
only when it changes. For example, we can imagine adding a special 
makefile rule that computes the svn version and put it in its custom 
header file. This rule will depend on the modification time of the 
/trunk/.svn directory (if it is possible).

What do you think?
