There's a simple explanation. I'm not using the full gnu toolchain but 
Project Builder, which is based on most of the gnu tools. So the VERSION 
macro will not be updated. But from gnokii.c:

I know it might be a sort of a stupid question, but can someone explain 
the difference and/or dependencies of all the protocolls used (like 
IrDA, OBEX, MBus, FBus, etc.)?
(I would volunteer to put all that into a faq-file)
