+compile the program, and then at runtime dynamically link

+The call returns a structure with four elements. The first
+three (C<major>, C<minor> and C<release>) are numbers and
+correspond to the usual version triplet. The fourth element
+(C<extra>) is a string and is normally empty, but may be
+used for distro-specific information.
