digitalmars.D.learn - Checking Compiler version in code?

Hey all,

I was wondering if there was a way to check the compiler version 
when running code. My project uses 2.064 and other people that go 
to use it will get errors if they haven't upgraded yet, and I'd 
like to make a check before hand so that if need be I can have a 
"Please upgrade to the most recent compiler" message show up or 
something.

Thanks!

That's very interesting as well. Seeing things like this makes me 
realize how much more I have to learn about this language.
