The problem is that does not reflect changes to Linux so there may be
a lot of great code added and yet this wouldn't reflect it. And if we
go with git-describe for Linux we could get updates on compat-wireless
itself during no code changes on Linux. I could use date (date -I),
that might work best but will it work for you?
