Actually, the ./configure is not suitable for building  the client on 
the Mac for general distribution, because we need to build for three 
different architectures (PowerPC, i386, x86_64) and combine them in 
universal binaries.  For this reason, the Mac build (using XCode) 
also uses its own manually generated config.h file.

So please do _not_ delete version.h.

For those who really want to build their own Mac client using 
configure & make, they can still do a single-architecture build that 
way.
