I just checked in some changes to make it runtime-controlled, based on
the ReplayTV software version.  the 'httpfs' and 'rtvguide' clients
now take a -s (software version) argument to set that; if it's not
given, they try the RTV4K_VERSION environment variable; if that's not
set either, a hardcoded default is used.  Right now, that's 4.1.1(140)
-- after 4.3 rolls out, that should be changed.

I used -s instead of the more obvious -v or -V because I'd like to
reserve them for 'verbose' and 'Version (of this software)'
respectively.

I didn't add a switch for the ReplayPC executable itself.  Someone
should probably do that, but frankly the switch parsing there gives me
a headache..

Versions can be specified like:
520411140
4.1
4.1.1
4.1.1.140
4.1.1(140)
4.1.1 (140)
4.1(140)
4.1 (140)

I added Yet Another new executable -- version-test -- for testing that
parser.  It was getting a bit out of hand, so I split the PROGRAMS
list into two; PROGRAMS now just includes ReplayPC, httpfs, rtvguide,
mark-commercial and rddns.  All the debug, RNS-dumping and
internals-dumping executables are EXTRA_PROGRAMS, not included in the
binary distributions.  I'm guessing anybody who'd be interested in the
others are able (and probably prefer) to compile.
