We can generate this all ourself from Git / reading files as done in cmake/version.cmake.
It's important to set a version so package install targets work properly, plus it's quite vital to track the API_VERSION since it seems to change for breaking changes - I intend to lock to specific API_VERSIONs on my own project to avoid drastic breaking changes all the time.
Another thing that can be done but isn't currently is auto generating version.h so bgfx internally knows it's version number. (Seems like this autogenerated file is committed sporadically so it's inaccurate as is).
