Well, the problem with $Revision$ is that it only refects the revision
of that single file.

I would like this as well. Maybe something along the following would work:
STRING=""
if [ -d "$CONFIGURE/.svn" -a -n "`svn 2>&1`" ]; then
REV="`svn info "$CONFIGURE"|grep Revi|awk '{print $2}'`"
BRANCH=`svn info "$CONFIGURE"|grep URL|sed -e 's#.*/##'`
STRING=" Revision $REV ($BRANCH)"
end if
Where $CONFIGURE is the directory where "./configure" is. The Revision
should be determined when running make.
