[be] autoconf / automake magic?

[Teus Benschop]

Hi,

Any help to get the autoconf and/or automake system to do the task below
is welcomed a lot!

(2) The man pages all still say they are version 3.6. This is not a big
deal at all, and I left them alone, but long term it might be good to
automatically generate them at build time with a current version number
and build date in the top line of each (the lines that start with .TH). 

Thanks for any input.

Teus.
