Oh, absolutely. If svn info can be used, it will be. The purpose of the 
subsequent hacks is to acquire the version number if svn is not 
installed on the current machine, but was used on some other to download 
from mpayerhq svn. Happens to me when the build system is W2K with 
mingw, or debian woody (yes, I still have one...)
