Hi Roy,

This is inherently fragile because the string is now defined in two
places. This issue shouldn't hold off merging the patch, but a follow up
patch should be crafted to make it possible to pull in version.c without
the other dependencies....

Then again, the version.c strings have a very big "DON'T TOUCH" warning
on them so I'm probably worrying about nothing.  :-)

sp. initrd

None of the above comments are blockers though.
