Editing GIMP 'About' version string

Hello,
I failed to figure this out myself and couldn't find any information on Internet hence my e-mail. I build gimp from git and I'd like to include last git commit followed by date in the 'About' version string. Where should I make the alteration?

Editing GIMP 'About' version string

In /app/dialogs/about-dialog.c I've got this: #include "config.h"
#include
[...]
#include "about.h"

So I run autogen.sh to generate config.h and about.h and edited the following two lines in the first file: #define PACKAGE_STRING "GIMP 2.7.3" > #define PACKAGE_STRING "GIMP 2.7.3+ gitc0208e7-20110818 "
#define PACKAGE_VERSION "2.7.3" > #define PACKAGE_VERSION "2.7.3+ gitc0208e7-20110818"

Can't see anything like version string in about.h so didn't touch it.

After building and installing there's no change in the About window..
