GIT repositories: autogen.sh

[Jasper Huijsmans]

Hey Brian,

I've been playing with the git repositories you created and I must say
I'm really enjoying it. I've put off learning git until now, but it
seems very useful to me.

I'm not sure if all autogen.sh scripts are the same, but for the panel
it tries to substitute the svn revision and that fails.

So, would something like the following patch be useful (I hope the
patch stays intact)?
