I have mostly worked around this issue by changing my editor settings to
reload files automatically, but that is not ideal either as I sometimes
don't want that to happen.

All of the auto updated things cause havoc with diffs and merges every
now and then (SVN is better than CVS most of the time).

We currently seem to be using __version__ in at least the file
application/Utility.py (don't know of other places).
