Sure -- and use the result as long as the exit status is 0.  (It's
certainly possible that svnversion exists, but the sources in question
aren't in a subversion working copy, after all.)

I could cobble up a patch to do that, if y'all like....

Alternatively, see the more extended comments I made to Jilles' comments
(to the PR) of a similar nature;
<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=161835>.  Summary: I believe
that newvers.sh ought to be intrinsically SCM-agnostic.

Peace,
david
