  Oh my, why I find this ticket only now when I'm almost finished patch 
that will clash with it.

  My goal was to remove need to update version information to multiple 
places when version changes. Version information is in file 'version.in' 
from which it is read into configure.ac, configure.in, common/version.h, 
and data/Freeciv. Simply put, 'version.in' uses macros to tell version 
and these macros are defined depending on programming language used when 
including it. So, for configure.ac and configure.in they look like m4 
macros, for common/version.h like C preprocessor macros. I'm still 
missing part where data/Freeciv is generated using version.in.

  Should I 'rm -Rf 
freeciv_patch_directory_with_obscure_name_for_diff_pipe_sed_purposes' or 
finish my work?
