Strange.

$ grep '$Id' ~/gimp-print/current/include/gimp-print/*
grep: /home/roger/gimp-print/current/include/gimp-print/CVS: Is a directory
/home/roger/gimp-print/current/include/gimp-print/gimp-print.h: *  $Id:$

Perhaps the files are set to binary type, or something?  I just
noticed that some of the unexpanded entries /are/ $Id:$, so the `:'
isn't the reason.
