I'm in the position of trying to develop a wireshark plugin, with the
requirement (not my decision) that it will be compilable against multiple
different wiresharks (1.2.*, 1.4.* and 1.6.*).

I had expected this to be fairly straight-forward by using preprocessor #if
macros against some sort of VERSION macro, but the only one I could find in
config.h was a string. Since preprocessor comparison only works with int
values, this isn't really useful.

It would be presumably straight-forward, and extremely useful if you could add
some sort of integer version defines. Something like:

#define VERSION_MAJOR 1
#define VERSION_MINOR 6
#define VERSION_PATCH 0

Obviously since these don't exist in the current releases I'll need to find
some other way to solve my problem (suggestions?), but I'm sure they'll be
useful for somebody else in the future.
