23 Consider that the bootstrap script might be modified to inject a variety of
24 package variables, including mailing list, home page, and package name; that
25 these might be built into the executable (and displayed with --version); and
26 that they might perhaps be stored within the VERSION file if any storage is
27 necessary for package configuration or re-configuration, or perhaps within
28 appropriately named package files (e.g., MAILING-LIST, PACKAGE-NAME, etc.).
30 Note that asciidoc attribute entries might be used as a means of embedding the
31 variables into package documentation.

35 - Modified VERSION to store variables as asciidoc-style attribute entries.
