Programs linked against libalpm (for example packagekit) may want to use preprocessor macros to check version and choose correct API. This adds version information to alpm.h.

+1 for the idea, -1 for the implementation. This should be generated from constants defined nearby the actual versioning of the library. Otherwise, someone will forget to bump this.

You can probably have configure update these via a sed. So anytime the values are updated for release, a configure will adjust them in the header. Allan
