Description
At the moment it just says "3.1.2 dev" in dumps, and with ctrl-V. It would be helpful if it said "3.1.1 [ca2973f] (SVN r1767)" or whatever.

Yes, it is platform dependent, as this only occurs in Makefile.win:
ifdef BUILD_ID CFLAGS += -DBUILD_ID="$(BUILD_ID)" endif
and the version appearing is dependent on BUILD_ID being defined

How to fix this is highly dependent on release policy. My gut instinct is to make it so that you have to put the version number in a single place, (preferably a revision control tag), and the build tools work from there.
However, I fear that different ways of releasing for different platforms (no use of autotools for Mac, git additions to the svn archive for debian, to name but two), mean that a single solution is impossible. In that case we'll have to rely on manual setting of a variable, as error-prone as that is.

Hmmm. I'm comfortable that the Debian stuff can sit atop autotools without spoiling things. Can we just use BUILD_ID for autotools, which takes care of Linux and Windows? I don't have a solution for Mac users, but they will remain no worse off than they are now.

P.S. Takk wants BUILD_ID to include the branch name (or even github url?) as well as the commit - see BetterMake?.

Something odd is going on. It works for some people (http://angband.oook.cz/ladder-show.php?id=9653), but not for others (http://angband.oook.cz/ladder-show.php?id=9639). Could this somehow be platform-dependent??
