Summary: Add CVS version information too all versions

Initial Comment:
I think it would be a great improvement if the version string (in svn it is 
usually named the rXXXX) plus compilation date after the actual named version. 
In this case when bugs are reported it is clear to see if the reported is using 
the latest CVS version; the assignee knows what version of the code is running. 
There are reasons to say that a user should always upgrade to cvs head, for me 
this would mean that after every problem I find I need to spend 30 minutes on 
upgrading the code to find it out. Might be better to just report the issue, 
and get it marked as fixed, if the problem is already fixed.

This will probably also make a difference for users (like me) that are 
compiling new code and expect a new version. If they see that the actual 
revision/date the code was changed for a specific subpart has not been changed 
between releases this could point out that something went wrong with the 
compilation and the user might be still running an older version.

This would still not allow you to say what CVS I'm running night?

What I would suggest is:

MonetDB server v5.7.0-CVS XXXXXX (32-bit), based on kernel v1.25.0-CVS
XXXXXX (32-bit oids)
MonetDB/SQL module v2.25.0-CVS XXXXXXX loaded

Posting the output of `mserver5 --version` comes sort of close, as it gives
us answers to some questions regarding your setup.
