This patch broke my sim autotester, which uses the "sim" cvs
module, which naturally does not include gdb/version.in. Now
requiring gdb for sim just for stating a version number seems
awkward (for a package with this loose connection).

Could it be done some other way? For example with a placeholder
sim/version.in automatically updated from (depending on)
gdb/version.in? Or just having a separate sim/version.in?
