Hm, there are really two possibilities:

* run on the svn server

  pro: will work always, once properly set up

  cons: probably not so easy to set up.  How often should cron run to make
        wrong revision number assignment unlikely?

* run during build on the builders machine

  pro: probably easy to set up, although several versions depending on the
       version control software are necessary (i.e., git, svn)

  cons: does not work if built from source only tree.

Don't know what to recommend.
