Hi List!

For a few days now, it's not possible for me to compile under win32 without tweaking the make-version.pl, as it will fail if no svn client is available. The output on my machine is:

perl make-version.pl
Version configuration file version.conf not found.  Using defaults.
This is a build from SVN (or a SVN snapshot).
Can't exec "svn": No such file or directory at make-version.pl line 79.
Unable to get SVN info! at make-version.pl line 79.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'perl' : Rueckgabe-Code '0x2'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\BIN\NMAKE.EXE"' : Rueckgabe-Code '0x2'
Stop.
Fehler beim Ausf�hren von c:\winnt\system32\cmd.exe.


This seems to be a problem with the cygwin environment, as I even have both perl and svn client from cygwin, but it still fails to call svn.

As I don't have good perl knowledge, could someone please fix this, so it will simply add a placeholder "svn build version unknown" or alike?
