I like this idea, is there any harm in changing the following line in 
mythcontext.h:

#define MYTH_BINARY_VERSION "0.19.20051128-1"

to something like

#define MYTH_BINARY_VERSION "0.19.20051128-1 SVN Rev. 8089"

or even better:

#define MYTH_BINARY_VERSION "0.19.20051128-8089"

Would it cause any problems elsewhere? After looking at the code, 
app_binary_version is used as the variable, defined as a Qstring, so it 
should work, no?

I'll try it on my checkout and see what happens... :)
