Nice.  One thing, though: the final \n isn't needed, as it is tagged 
on in via_driver.c.  See also the other BUILDCOMMENT defines.

It would be nice if it were possible to break down VERSION into 
VERSION_MAJOR, VERSION_MINOR, and PATCHLEVEL, so that configure.ac 
can become the only place where the version number is defined.  But 
in `info cpp` I can't find anything that looks like string 
manipulation.

Hmm, the https://www.openchrome.org/trac/report link that is given 
in configure.ac isn't working.  Should https be working on the 
openchrome server?

Anyway, it's probably better to link to report/1, so the prospective 
error reporter at once gets to see which bugs have already been 
reported and doesn't have to go looking for this list first.
