[PATCH] distversion feature for snapshot dists

[Bjoern Baumbach]

Hi!

Please find attached a set of patches extending our build system.

Aimed problem:
If we create a snapshot tarball with make dist we loose the version
information (e.g. git hash). So packages build from such a dist package
have a version like 4.0.0beta3-UNKNOWN.


With my patches "make dist" writes a .distversion file with version
information and adds it to the dist tarball.
The wafsamba/samba_version.py code is extended to use this information.

Such a .distversion looks like:
GIT_COMMIT_ABBREV=9563c95
SUFFIX=GIT-9563c95
GIT_COMMIT_FULLREV=9563c95aaf59f3a70f4bd012a7e03a3b10349686
COMMIT_TIME=1340350238
COMMIT_DATE=Fri Jun 22 09:30:38 2012 +0200

I think this is very useful and I would like to use it in future.

Comments? :-)
