Not at the moment.  Hmmm... Maybe I will define
libgeda/defines.h's #define CUSTOM_VERSION to be "CVS" and that way people
can tell the difference between CVS and a released version.  Any objections
to this? 

Here's the code comment about CUSTOM_VERSION:
/* Set this empty string to something interesting if creating a custom */
/* version of gEDA/gaf.  This string is appended to all messages that */
/* output the program's VERSION.  You would set this if you are creating a */
/* specific custom version of gEDA/gaf.  For example if you set this string */
/* to "-TEST", the resulting output would be 20060906-TEST. */
#define CUSTOM_VERSION ""


Obviously for release versions, I will remove the CVS and the version will
be 200612xx instead of 200612xx-CVS
