We do not guarantee API stability at all, so this is just the tip of  
the iceberg.  At one point we discussed having a Version.h that you  
could #include and then #ifdef based on the version number, I don't  
know what happened to it if anything.

It seems that it would be relatively easy to get autoconf to make a  
include/llvm/Config/Version.h file that did this.
