the funny thing was that it needed three commits to fix Emanuele's problem
which is two too much for this kind of error.

Actually, I'm not really concered about localisation (one of the most
important lines in my .bashrc is LC_ALL=C :-)) and now my ignorance bit me.

Basically, I added a simple line to the configure scripts so that the
interpreter, when compiled from a subversion repository, prints the revision
it was compiled from, like:

$ gbx3 --version
3.4.90 #5672

This number is extracted by a shell script line that makes assumptions on
the language settings of the system - which is apparently non-portable. And
that's the whole story.

Regards,
Tobi
