Comment:

 No, MYTH_BINARY_VERSION shouldn't change like this.  It's an ABI version,
 not a checkout version.  This patch would require the user to recompile
 all their plugins for absolutely no reason.

 Additionally, it shouldn't go in the configure script.  Not running
 configure would cause it to not update the checkout number, and this
 wouldn't work at all in the case of a release where there aren't any .svn
 directories.

 If this were to be done right, it'd be contained in a separate .cpp file
 (not a .h) so it doesn't trigger recompiles of large chunks of the code.
 It'd have to be updated on every checkin as well.
