Couple more comments after playing with this some more...

when doing 

make clean && make

I get 

/bin/sh: version.h: No such file or directory
updating version.h to 3.0-65-g1908caa95cef

That should be caught, I guess.

And of course this needs to be integrated with gtk-gui.c (and it should
define VERSION_STRING not VERSION).

I did the last two things so I can test and will push this out for now,
hoping that you can address the other issues I mentioned...
