I've checked in a script to do this --- executingsrc/tools/version_stamp.pl N
at the top level of the tree should stamp everything needed, and remind
you which autoconf version to run.

Marc, you'll presumably be the primary user of this script, so would you
please try it out and make sure (a) it works for you, and (b) you like
the way it works?  I don't think I used any unportable perl or sed
constructs, but let's find the problems now, not when we're trying to
wrap a release ...
