The following definition works for me...

	\def\rcs$#1:#2${\expandafter\gdef\csname rcs#1\endcsname{\mbox{#2}}}


You use it as

	\rcs$Revision: 1.1 $

in the prolog and it defines a macro \rcsRevison containing ` 1.1 '.

I am sure that someone will be able to get rid of those annoying
spaces, at least it means the $s and : etc don't end up in your final
document.
