I implemented several versions of putting SVN revision numbers into the 
application.

Option 1: use a rather complex shell/perl/python/whatever script to generate 
a header file. The script can become arbitrarily complex if you want 
reliable information.

Option 2: use the --xml option to SVN to generate files:
svn info --batch --xml >svn-info.xml
svn status --batch --xml >svn-status.xml
then include those files in a QRC file and use the Qt-XML classes to parse 
them - you can get quite detailed information from them.
