Now, which versions of Git support that?  It seems to me that Git
1.5.4.3 is the latest release and it recognizes no such option.
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/v1.5.4.3/git-describe.html

Given that most people building ELinks probably do not have a
bleeding-edge Git installed (I currently don't), ELinks would
have to do something sane with older Git versions too.  So just
adding the --match option to src/Makefile is not enough.
