# Determine the version string to build into a binary.
# When building in the git repository, we can use the output 
# of "git describe" which gives an unequivocal answer.
#
# Failing that, we use the contents of the VERSION file
# which has a set of references substituted into it by git.
# If we can find one which matches $v[0-9].* then we assume it's
# a version-number tag, else we just use the whole string.

# we're called with pwd == TLD
