Subject: 25.0.50; Build failure with wrong version in nt/emacs.rc
Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2014 00:02:35 +0800

With MSYS2/Mingw-w64 combination, compiling the master (HEAD 88871ef)
fails with:
windres -I . -O coff -o emacs.res emacs.rc
C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\windres.exe: emacs.rc:14: syntax error
Makefile:230: recipe for target 'emacs.res' failed
make[2]: *** [emacs.res] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/Kel/repo/emacs/nt'

It seems that `emacs.rc' goes wrong, since the line 14 looks like:
 FILEVERSION ,0,0
but it is expected to be:
 FILEVERSION 25,0,50,0

I think the problem comes from line 1917 in configure.ac, where
`$version' is null.  Although I know little about the configure, I
suspect changing `$version' to `$PACKAGE_VERSION' is OK.  That is, the
below patch.  Am I wrong?  I'm eager to know the solution.  Thank you.
