One way is to use m4_esyscmd to use a command that is run at autoconf run time to specify the version. Autoconf's own configure.ac uses this method, for example. If you want changes to the script (or another file) to propagate to configure automatically, you should set CONFIGURE_DEPENDENCIES in Makefile.am. Hope that helps. Automake still needs changes in order for efficient handling of fast-changing version strings (as from, e.g., git describe).
