You can do this, and given there isnt currently a version number in  
the headers it is your best bet.

I forced myself to learn how to write configure files and it isnt  
that bad. There are some good tutorials online. Once you have  
mastered the basics you will need to use AC_TRY_COMPILE on a minimal  
program with say the version with fewer arguments, and use this to  
set an environment variable which you test in the code. I can help  
out if you get stuck...
