If that works, you can then take the APP_{MAJOR,MINOR,PATCH}_VERSION=
lines and split them out to their own file, let's call it VERSION.sh,
and read it from configure.ac with ". $srcdir/VERSION.sh". I *think*
$srcdir is set already at that point.
The package I am maintaining does use a version.sh script and shell
variables but it requires using deprecated initialization interfaces.
The configure script only gets updated when there is something
configure-related which needs to be changed. Several releases can go
by without configure being updated at all.
It is really common to want to derive package versioning from the
version control system so that all files can already be committed
when the release is made and the versioning reflects what is already
in the repository.
