Now you are making me feel old because I can actually answer these
questions (with an uncertainty of 1 subversion). I believe that
last minor versions were 2.3, 3.7 and 4.0 (there was no IDL 4.1).
So a string comparison test for !VERSION.RELEASE should work with all
IDL versions to date.

Of course I am also old enough to remember when a 2 digit date wasn't
a problem for Windows because the year 2000 was so far away.... --
