+17. Is there anyway to tell what CVS version of individual source files
+    was used to build an executable.
+
+    Actually there is, just issue the Unix command:
+
+    strings cactus_<config> | grep Header
+
+    to see all the version information for all source files, and
+
+    strings cactus_<config> | grep Header | grep <filename>
+
+    to look for a particular file.
+
+    (Note that this only works for files using the CCTK_FILEVERSION macro)
