not sure what you mean here.
if you think about syntax highlighting, then most (if not all) modern
editors handle this.

well, it simplifies the code somehow, but not the distribution, since you
have to ship, and be able to find your version.py

to answer to Stuart, the .in files are simply the .py counter part, renamed
and replacing the version data.
ie, a2x.py.in is simply a copy of a2x.py with VERSION = @PACKAGE_VERSION@

that being said, creating an asciidoc-version.py, then distributed in the
sysconfig directory might best apply here.
@Stuart: up to you...

cheers,
Arnaud
