git describe should have that.  It may take
me a few days, but I can work on figuring
out how to make the windows filename be
something of the form xmltv-v1.1.2-2-gaaaaaaa.exe
(the v1.1.2 being the latest annoted tag,
the -2 being the commits after the tag.
and the gaaaaaaa being the commit id).
I suspect it is going to take me a bit of
time to wrangle it right for windows, but
I'll try to persevere.

Unless, of course, there is a different
(and likely better) idea from the windows
folk.
