Sadly (perhaps), when I said programmatically, I actually meant from
Python.  So gcc has the -v option giving output that can be "parsed" to
find the version number.  javac has the -version option, as does
groovyc. OCaml has a -version option.  gdc has a -v option. I could go
on.  dmd seemingly has no option for delivering a version number.  Which
is sad.
