I suggest to handle this bug report as a "usual" bug (not a FR) because
on the one side this is not a new feature for the application itself, on
the other side I don't think it makes so much sense to create a
blueprint for this guy. ;-) What's your opinion?

Bug description:
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.
