as far as i recall, it sets a variable which is used at cmake time.

the patch generates a VERSION_SVN constant that shows the svn version at 
the time cmake has been run.

but what you want, is the version at the time make is run...
(if, like me and most people, you are only running cmake when make fails 
because of bigger stucture changes).

my conclusion at that time: it might be possible to get the information 
into scribus, but the effort to get to it is imo way to high for the use 
of that information...

ciao
