Bummer.   I'm stumped at this point, but maybe Rich has some ideas.

When you grab code from svn trunk, the "-v" information is currently 
misleading.  The most informative thing you can get when working from 
svn is the output of "svnversion" when you are sitting in the directory 
you pulled from svn.   I haven't yet been able to find a portable way to 
get the output of svnversion into Python code.  If anyone has any code, 
it would be nice to have a portable and automated way to get the 
svnversion value into Orca's platform.py and have it always be 
up-to-date even if you don't do a ./autogen.sh or ./configure.
