True.  'distclean' does not remove configure, in which the
PACKAGE_VERSION variable is set.

Of course, but we cannot add such functionality to 'distclean' because:
a) we cannot rely on 'svn' being available to perform distclean
b) removing configure and all Makefile.in is beyond what 'distclean' is
supposed to do (ie. you would *have to* run autogen.sh thereafter)

I'd suggest adding a 'hardclean' (or similar) target, that would depend
on distclean, and that would also remove configure and Makefile.in's,
or maybe a 'svndistclean' that would use 'svn' command to remove all
files that are not in subversion (though it's slightly dangerous, if
ie. you have files not yet added to SVN).

Cheers,
