[CMake] CMake generated build number?

[Blezek, Daniel J.]

Hi Mike,

  This only works during the CMake configure process, not during the
build.  So it's possible for this information to be out of date.  I
think I'll have to make a bogus target to grab the info from Subversion,
which is not what I had wanted to do.

Regards,
-dan

See to the documentation for the "Subversion" module/package and the
corresponding functions. I use them to do something very similar by
getting the contents of the branch name and setting the application
version depending on information extracted from that name.
