until now, the strings intended to be hardcoded into the binary,
such as directory names and build id, were passed unquoted, which
means they're interpreted by the preprocessor as C tokens, rather
than strings, which can result in all sorts of "interesting"
behaviour such as interpreting paths starting with // as C++-style
comment.
this was then worked around using a stringize macro which turned
the tokens into a string (if they happened to be in a compatible
format).

I placed the Git tag V2.19 in hindsight at 555282497c. But I certainly don't want to rewrite the Git history just for the reported version, so I simply set the reported version at today's HEAD to 2.19.
When compiling cc65, it will by default place the git hash (if available) of
the checked out commit in the version string. This isn't useful when building
a package for a Linux distribution, since there either won't be an upstream
git hash if there is one at all.
Thus we replace GIT_SHA with a more versatile BUILD_ID, which can be defined
to any arbitrary string. When building, its contents will be appended to the
version string instead of the git hash.
If BUILD_ID is not defined by the user the behaviour will be exactly the same
as before. That means BUILD_ID gets automatically defined to Git <GIT_SHA>,
if it can be determined from a checkout.
Although the primary target OS for the Apple II for sure isn't DOS 3.3 but ProDOS 8 the Apple II binary files contained a DOS 3.3 4-byte header. Recently I was made aware of the AppleSingle file format. That format is a much better way to transport Apple II meta data from the cc65 toolchain to the ProDOS 8 file system. Therefore I asked AppleCommander to support the AppleSingle file format. Now that there's an AppleCommander BETA with AppleSingle support it's the right time for this change.
I bumped version to 2.17 because of this from the perspective of Apple II users of course incompatible change.
