+Usage: ./findversion.sh
+Finds the current revision and if the code is modified.

+Output: <REV>\t<REV_NR>\t<MODIFIED>
+REV
+    a string describing what version of the code the current checkout is
+    based on. The exact format of this string depends on the version
+    control system in use, but it tries to identify the revision used as
+    close as possible (using the svn revision number or hg/git hash).
+    This also includes an indication of whether the checkout was
+    modified and which branch was checked out. This value is not
+    guaranteed to be sortable, but is mainly meant for identifying the
+    revision and user display.
+
+    If no revision identifier could be found, this is left empty.
+REV_NR
+    the revision number of the svn revision this checkout is based on.
+    This can be used to determine which functionality is present in this
+    checkout. For trunk svn checkouts and hg/git branches based upon it,
+    this number should be accurate. For svn branch checkouts, this
+    number is mostly meaningless, at least when comparing with the
+    REV_NR from other branches or trunk.
+
+    This number should be sortable. Within a given branch or trunk, a
+    higher number means a newer version. However, when using git or hg,
+    this number will not increase on new commits.
+
+    If no revision number could be found, this is left empty.
+MODIFIED
+    Whether (the src directory of) this checkout is modified or not. A
+    value of 0 means not modified, a value of 2 means it was modified.
+    Modification is determined in relation to the commit identified by
+    REV, so not in relation to the svn revision identified by REV_NR.
+
+    A value of 1 means that the modified status is unknown, because this
+    is not an svn/git/hg checkout for example.
+
+By setting the AWK environment variable, a caller can determine which
+version of "awk" is used. If nothing is set, this script defaults to
+"awk".
