[FWP] Elegant ways to pick up the RCS revision

["Bernie Cosell" <bernie@fantasyfarm.com>]

I thought I saw [maybe on c.l.p.misc] a fairly cute/clever way to pick up 
the RCS revision number...   I can't remember what it was, so I thought 
I'd ask here.  what I use [as is typical for my code] is dull and 
straightforward:

my $version = (split(/ /, '$Revision: $'))[1] ;

but surely there must be more fun/obscure ways to get that effect..:o)
