Comment (by nigel):

 OK, I have something simple working:
 {{{
 % svn diff >mythtv-version.diff
 % mythfrontend --version
 Library API version: 0.19.20051208-1
 Source code version: 8614M
 Options compiled in:
  release using_dvdnav using_frontend
 }}}

 To do it the other (version.cpp) way, uncomment the relevant lines in
 version.pro, and do this in main.cpp:
 {{{
         else if (!strcmp(a.argv()[argpos],"--version"))
         {
             extern const char *myth_source_version;
             cout << "Library API version: " << MYTH_BINARY_VERSION <<
 endl;
             cout << "Source code version: " << myth_source_version <<
 endl;
 #ifdef MYTH_BUILD_CONFIG
 }}}
 [[BR]]
 Anyway, I think this is a good idea, but I will wait for feedback from
 others before commiting
