[Interest] compile SVN-Version into Project with qmake

[Philipp Menke]

Hey,
Yesterday I talked to a friend about my issues with the svn-revision in 
the code an he told me that there is a special SVN properties to realise 
something like that:

the property is called:
svn:keywords

It can be used to let SVN fill in values for special magic keywords each 
time the file gets changed.

See

for more
