The "v3" I sent basically adds both client & server version numbers in 
client-side variables, basically same code as suggested by Pavel for the 
server version, and some documentation.

The questions are:
 - which version should be provided (10.0 100000 ...)
 - how should they be named?
   In v3 there is VERSION{,_NAME,_NUM} for client and   SERVER_VERSION_{NUM,NAME} or SVERSION_NUM suggested   by Pavel
forserver.
 
 - how desirable/useful is it to have this in 10?
   Despite that this was not submitted in the relevant CF...   I created an entry in the July one, but this is for 11.
