- * Horrible hack to force version.o to be rebuilt unconditionally in
- * the automake world: empty.h is an empty header file, created by the
- * makefile and forcibly updated every time make is run. Including it
- * here causes automake to track it as a dependency, which will cause
- * version.o to be rebuilt too.
- *
- * The space between # and include causes mkfiles.pl's dependency
- * scanner (for all other makefile types) to ignore this include,
- * which is correct because only the automake makefile passes
- * -DINCLUDE_EMPTY_H to enable it.
+ * The difficult part of deciding what goes in these version strings
+ * is done in Buildscr, and then written into version.h. All we have
+ * to do here is to drop it into variables of the right names.
