 The CVS version has the function mpfr_version () which returns
a constant string which is the version number at running time.
It provides also the MPFR_VERSION macro which provides the
version number at compiling time.
 The current stable version of MPFR doesn't have theses features.

 Do you need to know the version number at running time or at 
compiling time?
