Oh, shoot.  Looks like svnversion.h is removed by clean and/or dist-clean.
So it should be generated only if you're building from SVN, and should be included in source tarballs, and should be removed only by maintainer-clean.

I've checked in a change to do that, and will schedule it for the next 1.4.x and 1.6.x release, unless somebody can come up with a good reason to remove svnversion.h with clean or dist-clean.  Speak up soon....

Thanks. Only thing to note is that the "is_release=1" stuff which caused Lars' problem (r38933) was not backported to trunk-1.4 (only trunk-1.6) so your fix isn't (truly) necessary there.
