There's currently no call that happens at the right time to change 
something like that at checkout.

You would probably be better handling it on the client - have a program 
that runs after update/checkout and modifies all the binaries with their 
current version number, based on CVS/Entries.

The best example is the info_trigger.cpp from the source code, that has 
the default trigger in it.  There is also a skeleton example DLL in 
contrib_nt/dll_example but I'm not 100% sure it is up to date, so might 
need a bit of tweaking.  The header file for it (infolib.h) is shipped 
with the standard install.
