Public bug reported:

We should find a way to automatically integrate the current build number
from the VCS (i.e. using "bzr revno", but a solution which does not
depend on the bzr binary would be even better) and the current date
(should be rather simple) dynamically into the build script, that is,
without relying on resources/appResources.properties. This would
simplify bug tracking from development builds. Since these strings are
currently updated rather rarely, "Help->About" often reports incorrect
information.
