Many code checking editors, marking the common.h as erroneous, as
version.h is missing. This can lead to confusion.
Change in Makefile.in with fake empty dependency ensures, that version.h
is recreated at every "make"
Another change in make clean, makes sure, that at this point a stub
version.h is generated.
version.h removed from .gitignore
When building the source from a checked out tag, eg v1.15, VERSION will
equal v1.15. However, when building from anything other than a tagged
version, you get 'v1.15-4-g50432d5-dirty' meaning I was 4 patches in
front of v1.15, particularly '50432d5' was my current HEAD, and I had
uncommited changes, '-dirty'.
Very useful for folks submitting bug reports on versions they compiled
themselves.
