You might be right.

I'd think that if the name will never be changed, it would mean the
same thing, but I don't know really. I just know that it solved my
build-problem, and I wanted to share that information with the list.
(Probably some more meaningful name than 'VERSION' could be chosen.)

Thank you for the comments.

Best regards, Thorkil.
