It is an old define left over from tribes days. It (presumably) indicates a build for IHVs - ie, for 3rd party graphics card manufacturers and the like.

Wholly crap, what an easter egg that was... Just out of curiousity, how much Tribes code (as a percentage per se), is still left in the ol gal?

All the core code and architecture is from Tribes2. Scripting system, network code, rendering libraries, physics, etc. etc. etc...

IHVBUILD code itself looks like SHA-1 (Secure Hashing Algorithm 1). It was probably used from simple encryption of network transmission

I suspect that the IHVBUILD stuff was simply there to ensure the EXE was uncorrupted and to do some validation/authenticaation tasks.
