Getting VERSION from code?

I think it's just a limitation of VS (not the integration, but of VS itself). It's okay. I can use that technique on other platforms.

Well, I'd tend to think that it's actually a limitation of most, if not all, compilers... I'm willing to bet that no build system (may it be cmake, qmake, scons, ...) does such a smart dependency checking... Just rebuild all once you changed the version number or do a "dummy edit" in each file that rely on the version macro. Dummy edit means forcing the file to be saved, without really modifying it, which triggers dependency tracking of your build system, since most rely on time stamps and not file hash... It generally expands to typing a char then undo-ing the change and then saving...
