Re: Finding out the highest revision number on the source tree.

It is a bad idea.

What if file foo.c were at revision 1.101 and other files at 1.51 or
less.  After calling the release "version 101" what do you do for the
next release when you find that other files have gone to cvs revision
numbers 1.75 or less but foo.c is still at 1.101?

Consider using a <major>.<minor>.<point> release naming scheme and
tagging
the source code for the release similarly.  For example, PRODNAME_3_1_0
