Summary: Add a constant to indicate library version

Initial Comment:
The attached patch adds a contant to indicate the current library version. It gets updated by a build target in the customization step of the build process and only chnages the file (CDKConstants.java) if the version actually changes

Message:
I'm not sure I understand. Shouldn't the source code change with a version
change? (The sources only change if the version atually changes - if there
is no change the source file does not get modified)

Message:
I'm not so fond of that patch, as each version change will now change the
source code.

I attached an alternative patch which reads the version number from the
build.props on runtime. I made my patch against cdk-1.2.x as I think this
is a useful addition to the library, particularly for comparing CDK 1.2
version 1.3/1.4.
