Hi Michael,
There is no way to "attach" any "properties" to any file in Raiserfs, ext3
and most of the other file systems in common use in Linux. But you can
embed the version designator in the file assuming that you build it using
a compiler.
Define a static string like
String Version = "Version is $Header:$"
On checkout from CVS you will have the CVS version in the Version string.
Then build. To see the version designator do
strings <executable filename> |grep Version
You might have to make this String static and you might have to add a
dummy reference to the String in order to prevent the compiler from
optimizing it away.

Well, if version control was brought up, Why not use SubversionFS? ;)
You can set properties on a file via "svn propset", you gain the
benefit of automatic revision-ing to your binary, and you can easily
sync the various systems / locations you have this file in use. To get
the version of the file you would do something like "svn propget
bin_version BINARY" or script it for "svnver BINARY [REV]"
