Red Hat 6.1 version.h modifications

Dave Mandala over here at Linuxcare upgraded to Red Hat 6.1 and his ESS
Maestro 2 soundcard module stopped working. It was only by doing a reinstall
of the module that he discovered Red Hat's changes to version.h (and added
files) -- see below.

It seems like this could break anything that checks version.h; or am I
wrong?
