/*
* We make the version string static, and return a pointer to it, rather
* than exporting the version string directly. On at least some UNIXes,
* if you import data from a shared library into an program, the data is
* bound into the program binary, so if the string in the version of the
* library with which the program was linked isn't the same as the
* string in the version of the library with which the program is being
* run, various undesirable things may happen (warnings, the string
* being the one from the version of the library with which the program
* was linked, or even weirder things, such as the string being the one
* from the library but being truncated).
