How about duplicating version.in instead?  The version number would
only need to be updated after creating the branch, and one extra file
every 3 months is not going to kill me.

I think having a common version.in and using BFD's date was a step
in the right direction.  It would be a shame to lose all the efforts
we've made just because of some CVS module interdependency. This is
especially true if we ever want to move to another version-control
system where GDB and the sim would be one repository.
