Um, how can version.c possibly not include version.h?

Sure, it may obtain access to version.h via some other include, but
that's plain luck and nonsense.  And it's unreliable and it requires
whichever-header-is-doing-this to continue to include version.h on
behalf of some .c file which should be including it directly!
