[MonoDevelop] Best way to manage program version number for C

[Steve Lessard]

I manage incrementing the version number in my assemblies with a few simple 
shell commands that can be called from a makefile or .csproj file.

Preparation:
In your AssemblyInfo.cs file update the code that sets the assembly's version 
number by replacing the build increment number with a special token you can 
easily identify later with editing tools such as sed. (I used ${BUILD_NUMBER})

The steps are:
1. Check out of source control a file that contains nothing more than the most 
recently used build number as text
2. load the text of that file into an environment variable
3. Increment the value in that environment variable
4. Use sed to search AssemblyInfo.cs and replace the special token with the 
value of the incremented environment variable.
5. Write the value of the incremented environment variable back to the text file
6. Check the text file back into source control.
7. Run your build as usual

Yes, it does.  But code-wise, how do you manage the revision number?  Can you
access the version number in the solution or project?  Is there a way to
automatically increment that?
