Hi Bill,
Thanks for fixing the way the revision number is being saved and
displayed. I agree that this information can be removed from the title
bar, and used only for display in the "About" window, transmission to
PSKreporter, etc.

I guess it's a matter of opinion whether the old "$Rev:$" mechanism was
broken. Arguably a bit klunky, I suppose, but it served its intended
purpose well.

I will probably repair wsjtx.pro so that builds with qmake (including
those from within QtCreator) are once again possible. Or maybe I will
learn my way around CMake sufficiently to make it do just what I want.
The way I'm doing it now, rebuilding with CMake after a trivial
source-code change -- or indeed, after no changes at all -- takes about
7 minutes on my shack computer. From within QtCreator the same rebuilds
used to take a few seconds. This makes a big difference when trying out
new code.
There may be grumbling if we change the name of the executable. For
example, automatic launching of the program from JT-Alert would break.
