Thanks, I guess you can see a resoluion. Which gdal header is the most 
logical to expose this in?

It's a bit fragile, because the string is entered manually, rather than 
coming from "above" in the build tree, but at least is there. Making sure 
programatically that proj knows itself what its version is whould simplify 
things a lot.
