'VERSION' is a very easy file to parse, as opposed to a header file.
We also have the benefit of holding the version information in one
very well known place and can then generate all other version texts
as we see fit, for example opensslv.h.

For files GENERATEd from templates (.in files), any perl module (.pm
file) that the file depends on will automatically be used.
This means that these two lines:
GENERATE[foo]=foo.in
DEPEND[foo]=whatever.pm
will emit this command in a Makefile (or corresponding):
foo: foo.in whatever.pm configdata.pm
$(PERL) -I. -Ipathto -Mwhatever -Mconfigdata $(SRCDIR)/util/dofile.pl \\
foo.in > foo
Note that configdata.pm is automatically added, since util/dofile.pl
itself depends on it.
