I'm fine with have to two functions.

pgr_full_version()  - this would be the full string with everything
pgr_version()       - this should match version of extension like:
                       2.0.0-dev in pgrouting--2.0.0-dev.sql

The full version string is what we want for bug reporting.
The version is what you might want to use in an application to construct 
if clauses based on features available in this or that version of the 
software.

This seems simple and convenient to provide and is a straight forward 
explanation of what they are for.
