-/**
- * The following part of the code determines the CLIENT_BUILD variable.
- * Several mechanisms are used for this:
- * * first, if HAVE_BUILD_INFO is defined, include build.h, a file that is
- *   generated by the build environment, possibly containing the output
- *   of git-describe in a macro called BUILD_DESC
- * * secondly, if this is an exported version of the code, GIT_ARCHIVE will
- *   be defined (automatically using the export-subst git attribute), and
- *   GIT_COMMIT will contain the commit id.
- * * then, three options exist for determining CLIENT_BUILD:
- *   * if BUILD_DESC is defined, use that literally (output of git-describe)
- *   * if not, but GIT_COMMIT is defined, use v[maj].[min].[rev].[build]-g[commit]
- *   * otherwise, use v[maj].[min].[rev].[build]-unk
- * finally CLIENT_VERSION_SUFFIX is added
