I don't know where Rev gets it, but any IDE _could_ be getting it -- and 
setting it -- in the uRIP["Version"] property.

The Revolution Interoperability Project (RIP) has a document describing 
common properties for common uses:
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/revInterop/>

This initiative is used by a few tools vendors already, and the degree 
to which it's adopted by more is the degree to which version control 
systems, automated build systems, frameworks, templates, and a whole lot 
more can be built easily and used interchangeably with one another.
