Instead of doing this every now and then you could first limit it to one
place and then build the remaining version coding from that point.
Once that works, step two would be to grab the current version number
from
	https://www.kernel.org/finger_banner

We have to use a default kernel version that we know works with our 
current tool chain. Usually when I update the version it's because the 
older kernel doesn't compile on the latest distribution. For that reason 
though, we also can't just fetch the latest and greatest that we haven't 
tested.

We have added tools in rteval to make fetching the kernel easier, 
especially for upstream.

rteval -S [kernel-version]

will either fetch the kernel-version, or if that is omitted, it will fetch 
the default-kernel version for rteval from kernel.org

I guess what we're lacking is an option to have kcompile use an indicated 
kernel-version. This could be useful also for testing the version with 
rteval.
