Feature request: add version name to executable file name

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I know, that it's look strange, but now I have a ton (well, 20 or so) of
exe files for windows and linux builds. And it's WERY hard to choose
correct executable without knowlege of revision. So for a debugging sake,
please, add revision number to pcsx2 file name, at-least to nondebug one.

I don't know of a way to do this automatically.  It could probably be done to 
the
Linux build without too much trouble, anyway, with a little sh magic.  I think 
you're
a linux user, right?  I'll forward the request to Arcum for review.

Actually, Jake, if you look closely, he's requesting it for both Linux and 
Windows.

I'll take a look. There is a variable in configure.ac called SVNVER that has 
the svn
version, and I may be able to just plunk that in the name. 

That's when I'm back in Linux, though. firght now I'm in Windows, so I can look 
at
cottonvibes dialog changes firsthand. It's easier to get an idea of what to do 
from
looking then reading the code...

Ah, ok.  Yeah the best guess I have for doing a rev-based filename gen in MSVC 
is to
create a post-build step that uses a TortoiseSVN or Subversion tool to rename 
the
file.  It'd be a real pain in the ass.

Anyone else have any more knowledge / better ideas for it?

Oh, and it's seems that Gabest is already imported SubWCRev in his plugin.

Yes that can be used to inject revision info into the source code of a project, 
but
how can I change the output filename?  That's a project-level option and as far 
as I
know the #defines generates by SubWCRev won't do any good there.

(for the record, I incorporated SubWCRev into SPU2ghz quite a while ago).

I think I might have found a way to bind the revision number into the filename 
in
Visual Studio, using SubWCRev and a .vsprops file.  I'll put it on my todo list 
as
soon as I'm done with my current little code cleanup project.

This has been implemented in full for the Win32 build systems.
