Description

Currently the last version number (1.6.0) is hard coded in the release scripts (dist.sh, bindist.sh).
It would be easier to build custom builds if those release scripts would use the version number defined in configure.ac.

The fix is to make the script to be generated from template by the configure script:

• rename the scripts to ${script}.in
• replace "1.6.0" with "@VERSION@"
• add ${script} to AC_CONFIG_FILES() in configure.ac
