When trying to build with some pretty typical version strings this was
causing failures trying to generate the windows resource file.
The resource file is already gated by an `ifdef` for this var, so
instead of blindly setting based on "VERSION", which can contain some
characters which are incompatible (e.g. 1.2.3.rc.0 will fail due to the
".rc").
