----------------------------------------
The project file uses a bit of a hack to find out the SVN revision number and
-create an appropriate rev.c file. It does this using a batch file and a GNU
-makefile, as well as the SVN tools (specifically, "svnversion"). For this to
-work successfully, you'll need the SVN tools installed and in your path, as
