I have been working out the style issues with BDE for several months.
Also, if you want a truely portable usage, we cannot use __RCSID()
because too much NetBSD and vendor sources use it.  Peter's hack will not
work for all compilers.  I would have prefered a __FBSD() and __CSRG()
macro for the same reasons we switched to $FreeBSD$ from $Id$.  These
would have worked for all compilers, but I cannot complete with an effort
backed by Peter.
