Subject:   2.2R suggestion - replace banner's #0 with CTM level id

Whenever FreeBSD boots and at each logon it displays its banner:

FreeBSD 2.2-RELEASE (KERNELNAME) #0: ...timestamp...

Now in my (admittedly limited) experience the #0 seems to always stay the
same.  Why not use that slot to display the source/CTM level in place when
the kernel is compiled?  Would this not provide some potentially useful
information when people are asking questions?  Admittedly not fool proof
since they could manually change source files and not change the info in
/usr/src/.ctm_status, but something.
