In order to identify the version of a source file used to generate
an executable, we currently include the following line in our 'C'
source code:

static char sccsid = "#(@) file.c  3.12 01/15/93";

The string is obviously filled in by SCCS and becomes embedded in the
text segment of the compiled code.  Then performing 'what' on the
binary tells us what version of the source was used to make it.

The problem is that '-Wall' causes the a warning about an unused
variable.  We don't want _any_ warning messages if we can help it.
How can you embed this string in without the aforementioned warnings ?

Obviously, removing 'static' would do it but might result in duplicate
variable names in large projects.  Something that works on any
standard compiler would be welcomed, but GNU specific 'pragma's, etc.
would be fine.
