   It's a nifty thing, but I've never needed it.  I guess it was put 
there to detect users/distros tampering with the source?  So if they 
report a problem and we can't reproduce, we would ask them for the build 
key to make sure they hadn't changed something?

   In the five years I've been here, I've not seen it used by anyone to 
confirm anything.  Older timers might have further insight.

   The revision number would be nice to have in the about box.
