This is the fault of yours truly. $Rev$ does exactly what you suggest
in the next paragraph - tell the user which SVN revision of SWORD is
being compiled. SVN automatically inserts r2679 (the version that you
have there from Xiphos 3.1.5) when the files are updated or checked
out. I, however, built the package by using git to checkout the SVN
code. This is because Xiphos maintains a patch file which would be
extremely tedious to update manually but maintaining a git branch with
the patch included makes patch maintenance almost trivial.

So you are dealing with r2679, which is current as of about a week
ago. I should really update the build system to handle that
replacement somehow before sending those SWORD builds out into the
wild. I'm assuming a simple sed script to find/replace the $Rev$
string with the revision number is sufficient.
