Not exactly what you're looking for, but certainly adaptable, David Black 
created this for RubyGems while at RubyConf.  It's working very nicely for 
us:

http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/cgi/viewcvs.cgi/rubygems/lib/rubygems/version.rb?rev=1.5&cvsroot=rubygems&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

After having started using it with RubyGems, we've all found other places 
in our past, present, or future for which we thought, "I can use that 
there TOO."
