Subject: [PATCH] Put the version in config.mk instead of a separate file

There is no need to have a separate VERSION file in release tarballs,
having the version in config.mk directly allows for a proper fallback in
case the git repository and the version file doesn't exists. The most
important example of this is the tarballs that github creates on every
release.
