Hi Juanjo,

this is supported natively for Windows, you just need to edit config.nmake
to set the VERSION_EXTRA variable.
For Linux/Mac, this does not seem to be supported out of the box. What you
might try (but I have not verified this myself and I'm more a Windows guy
so autofoo is kind of magic for me) is to edit configure.ac and put your
string in the empty square brackets of the line:
m4_append([version_micro_extra], [])

Other might have a better answers ;)

Regards,
Pascal.
