    Added better version information · a4708472

    The current version is now held in src/version.cc in a number of defines which needs to be modified when changing version.
    
    The following defines make up the version information:
    
      MAJOR_VERSION
      MINOR_VERSION
      BUILD_NUMBER
      PATCH_LEVEL
      CANDIDATE_VERSION
    
    The first four are numbers and the fifth is a boolean. Besides these five the define
    
      SONAME
    
    can be used to set a specific soname when building the a shared library (see below). This will most likely be used on stable branches where binary compatibility is ensured between different versions. This define is a string.
    
    This version information is now read by the SCons build to support setting the soname for a Linux shared library. This requires passing the option soname=on to the SCons build.
    
    When soname=on is specified the soname for the shared library can be set in two different ways. Either it will be the full versioned library name (e.g. libv8-1.2.2.so) or a specific soname defined in src/version.cc. Whenever a shared library is build with an soname the filename of the library will hold the full version name (e.g. libv8-1.2.2.so).
    
    I did not update the xcode project with the new files.
