a note for those patching 2.6.18 with current cvs

[Luke Davis]

Hmm, well, that part worked, but now "make mrproper" is looking for 
include/linux/version.h, a file which does not exist, and which a "make 
mrproper" run on a clean tree does not seem to seek. (at least, I don't 
get the message that awk can't find it, if I run it from an unpatched 
tree).

How annoying.
