Sounds good to me.  I believe the current wisdom is to get rid of
__version__ variables but to inclide the $id$ as part of the
docstrings.  I implementat that on the trunk for all C files that
belong to Standalone ZODB, but I trust you that there are other cases
(C and Python) that need to be fixed.
