If the SVN version can't be found, make-version.pl is supposed to handle
the situation gracefully.  Unfortunately, one of my recent checkins made
it exit prematurely.  I've checked in a fix.  The checkin also looks for
"svn" in "c:/cygwin/lib/subversion/bin/", in case the latest Cygwin
package is installed.
