I think I'm going to replace this with:

src/internal/version.c: src/internal/version.h

and have version.h be the generated file, containing just:

#define VERSION "..."

This gives more flexibility to modify the mechanisms/linkage of stuff
in version.c without having to edit a script, and makes the version.sh
script much more generic. It also avoids the need to hard-code a
generated .c file into the SRCS/OBJS lists.
