The output of gnc-svnversion is a string, that gets stuffed into a 
format that looks something like "...SVN (r%s %s)" elsewhere in the code

./src/gnome-utils/gnc-splash.c:    ver_string = 
g_strdup_printf(_("Version: GnuCash-%s svn (r%s built %s)"),
./src/gnome-utils/gnc-splash.c:    ver_string = 
g_strdup_printf(_("Version: GnuCash-%s (r%s built %s)"),


I looked at it briefly and decided that it wasn't worth the time for me 
to change. At least getting a readable version identifier in there was 
enough. You'd need somehow to rework things so that both the string and 
the VC system in use were used. Right now, the output of gnc-svnversion 
is captured into a variable that is used by the make script.
