OK, that is fixed in SVN.

I wonder if the issue is that there's a carriage return after the ","?

On the "broken" version.h, can you try:

sed 's/,$//' include/xapian/version.h

And:

sed 's/,\(\r\)*$//' include/xapian/version.h

I suspect the former won't remove the commas and the latter will.

Now "\r" in sed is a GNUism, but cygwin will always have GNU sed
and the \(...\)* means that it'll just be ignored on platforms
where it means something different anyway and we can just use this
expression everywhere.  Solaris sed seems to interpret "\r" as the same
as "r", for example.

Ah, that's what you mean by the libtool dependency patch!
