We could add a new header file with just the svnversion output, include
it only in the file(s) which need it, and use a Makefile hack to only
update it when it changes.

Not sure if it's worthwhile, but it doesn't mean having to rebuild all
of svn each time you run make.

Hmm, please don't get angry if this is a silly idea, but what's wrong with

#ifdef SVN_DEBUG
static const char* _svnid = "$Id$";
#endif

Assuming that a dev build that's to stay any longer than a few minutes 
should be built statically, this would at least allow to get a definite 
profile of what version of .c files was used to create the object.

ident(1) is your friend :-)
