Haha, that is a leading question! I suppose it depends on how you use it or
abuse it as we have in our case.

The hash is only updated when configure is run. It is not 100% full proof,
something like a makefile check or the post-checkout would be needed if that
path is taken. What I did was a "good attempt" at best.

I tend to get a little uneasy when a VC tool is touching code in a project
underneath another operation. It makes auditing more complicated. If you think
the autoconf change is still not suitable I suppose something in the makefiles
could perform the post-checkout functionality.

We need a way for the build and test records to show what was being tested. We
currently lack that information.
