STEPMAKE_GET_VERSION.

Shell functions as such (if you don't use the bashistic "function" keyword)  
should be fine.  We just want to avoid more complexity than necessary since  
autoconf problems take a long time to gather definite feedback.  Our freeze  
is not exactly working out fabulously: we'll probably need to do something  
about that.  Nevertheless, we want to avoid changes with long-running  
consequences.

I had no concrete issues with the patch: my response was more  
keyword-triggered on the discussion since I did not find your argumentation  
convincing.  The basic gist was "testing will turn up oversights anyway",  
and that premise does not really work well with autoconf.  That does not  
mean that there are problems, just that we better look closely for them  
manually since the automatic looking is not covering a lot of ground.
