While on the subject of $VERSION compiler directives... When using
the GNU gcc compiler, you won't have that luxury. However, you can
use a related trick by placing static string declarations into the
source code that use a character sequence like "$Id: blah blah $".

The resulting strings end up inside the object code and can then be
viewed with the /bin/ident utility that comes with the Posix Shell.
I used this approach with the Samba 2.0.10/iX programs, for example.
