You need to build from a git repository for these automated version numbers to work, and this will *not* change post 1.1.1.

But with the patch I sent out earlier, you should be able to:

	$ VN=1.1.1 make

in a non-git repository (e.g. an untarred directory from a tarball). What the patch fixes is to fix it for RPM binary packages.

I expect that people building from the source do so from a git repository not from a tarball, except when bootstrapping, so hopefully this should not be too much of a problem.
