Just for you own info in case you ever want to do it.... not that
wasn't why it didn't work.
The first echo could be just about anything and the dashes are
insignificant too.
I haven't figured out what I did wrong... but a third try at
it.. has worked as advertised.... so Neils advice is right on the
money.
So what happens is localversion1 is combined with localversion2. And
since localversion2 is a symlink to .version... it gets incremented
with each build.... assuming no `make mrproper or distclean' is run.
One thing I did notice though is that the naming only happens during
`make modules_install' or `make install'
a find on filename searching for localversion1 contents fails after
running `make' is completed.
echo "_rdr_" > localversion1
then after make....
find . -name '*_rdr_*' will fail.
I had assumed some naming would happen during make... but it doesn't.
