This is line 49 in Makefile. Line 51 says,

  revision=`sed -e 's/^0$$//' -e 's/^[1-9].*$$/.&/' $(top_srcdir)/REVISION`

I wonder the meaning of $$. I tried this command in linux manually.
After some experiment(revision=`sed -e 's/^0$$//' -e 's/^[1-9].*$$//'
REVISION`, remove .& from the command), I found the pattern is not
found. So... maybe the Makefile is also responsible?
