+# This PACKAGE_VERSION stuff is a rather gross hack, but it's the only reliable
+# way to put Git commit information in the prokit executable.  Setting
+# PACKAGE_VERSION in configure causes it to become outdated until the next
+# configure run.  Adding it to the preprocessor command line can cause multiple
