David Reiss commented on THRIFT-40:
-----------------------------------

Yeah, I just meant to replace VERSION with the version in configure.ac.  I 
think it is simpler to have configure.ac be the authoritative source for this 
(like every other autoconf-based project), rather than creating an extra file 
for it.  I don't think we should try to include the full svn/git version 
information in configure.ac.  It is only used for make dist, afaik, which we 
will only be using on releases.

I have another solution for main.cc.  It never recompiles the compiler 
unnecessarily, but it doesn't update the version if you run "make thrift" 
instead of "make".  I think this is a good compromise.  What do you think?
