Hallo everybody,
Now that the old (sub)string related to the commit that has been 
compiled is not in the version string anymore, may be it should be added 
somewhere in the "version info" dialog to have that information easily 
available in the bug reports.

P.S.: If this has yet been discussed... just drop this mail (I confess I 
did not follow all the discussion about it)

Cheers,
Dino.
