custom version number for target settings

$

Is there a way to input the version settings at compile time, outside of the Version Info dialog of Target Settings? 

 

What I'm really after is this: I would like to append the SVN revision of a project to its compiled binary.  Something like:

 

3.1.0.3167

...where 3167 is the SVN revision, the other numbers are specific to CVI and this build.

 

I see in the version dialog where we have access to built-in macros and modifiers for the parts of this version system.  Yet, I'm not seeing a way to have a pre-compiler script send values directly to the version number before it's built.

 

Here's a look at my project's version setup:

And the corresponding EXE that was built has this file properties:

You'll notice that the "File Version" is not the second file version (not sure what that one's for), but the first.

 

I would love to insert my SVN revision so that I can track back problems in production to a specific revision to recreate the issue and debug.
