I'm afraid I've never used CVS/RCS before. :(
Am I reading this right? If I just put $Revision$ in the code, once
it's checked in/out that'll be replaced with the correct version number?
I see strace.cc has a line:
static const char *version_string = "@(#)strace V1.0, Copyright (C) 2001 Red
Hat
 Inc., " __DATE__ "\n";

That doesn't look autogenerated, but maybe it is.

Anyway here is a patch for cygcheck that I think does the right thing.
Somebody want to take a look?
