What's the easiest way to specify the AC_INIT package version external to configure.ac? I have about 12 sets of configure.ac/Makefile.am that compile the same code in slightly different ways. The version set in AC_INIT has to be the same for all configure.ac's. I want to avoid having to set this manually in each configure.ac each time the version is changed. I have a script which invokes configure and make for each package. I pass to the script the version, and would like to have a way to pass this version to either configure or make so that it is included in the name of the source distribution file. Alternatively, is there a way to set up configure.ac and the Makefile.am's so that the twelve different source distribution files (the <package>-<version>-tar.gz files) can be generated from a single configure.ac?
