My request was independent from the current problems I am experiencing.
Besides being able to recognize the GLPK version at run-time (using
the new glp_version routine), it is useful to be able to recognize it
at compile-time.  For that, macros like the ones I am proposing,
are the most standard solution.
All the best,
