I'm a bit puzzled by qmake creating ssrf-version.h myself. In a way it
makes sense if you are not using git (because the values in there won't
change, normally), but still... make should create that.

Then again, qmake files are best approached with great caution and a vodoo
doll within reach...

Maybe if I'm bored I'll look into why exactly we aren't creating this at
"make" time... in the meantime, is what we have now enough for you? Can
you fix the missing parts in a distro patch?
