+ * We make the version string static, and return a pointer to it, rather
+ * than exporting the version string directly.  On at least some UNIXes,
+ * if you import data from a shared library into an program, the data is
+ * bound into the program binary, so if the string in the version of the
+ * library with which the program was linked isn't the same as the
+ * string in the version of the library with which the program is being
+ * run, various undesirable things may happen (warnings, the string
+ * being the one from the version of the library with which the program
+ * was linked, or even weirder things, such as the string being the one
+ * from the library but being truncated).
