Believe it or not, it is. the time svnversion takes depends
on the time it needs to access every file in the svn
repo and check it against its saved version in the .svn directory.
The first time i run svnversion it took nearly 30 seconds because
the repo was not in the file cache.

But i agree with Herbert, that the additional info
might be worth the time spend in gathering it.
At latest then, when we have to debug mplayer/ffmpeg
version missmatches.

BTW: i prefere the first patch, the second does things
i don't like.
