Not more strange than setting the version to 'undefined' :-D

Any other string than 'undefined' is fine for me too.

Btw, for makedevs and mkpasswd, the version is also 'undefined' as the
source is included in buildroot.
I was first going to change their version to 'buildroot', but it makes
the messages a bit strange:

>>> host-makedevs buildroot Configuring...

etc.

Other ideas?
