Probably not.  2.6 handles these things completely differently though so 
it might be possible to work something out eventually.

$Id$ always contains the name of the RCS file.. it just happens that in 
the past it's been the same as the name of the file itself - that's no 
longer true, so some new keywords are probably needed.
