Thanks. Good suggestion. I'll check if the version information 
can be retrieved automatically for all compilers. If that's the 
case then version information will be added soon. The thing I 
don't want to do is to ask user manually to specify compiler 
version in config.py, since it's easy to forget to updated it and 
also I like to keep config.py as simple as possible.

At the moment DigitalWhip is just for personal usage, the user 
knows which compilers are installed. But version information will 
help with archiving/sharing results.
