Hi Dave,

With CMAKE we know about the versions of PostgreSQL, CGAL, Boost for
example.
I don't think we need to include PostgreSQL and PostGIS version as you can
just query for it with the PostgreSQL and PostGIS functions.
Except we think it's important to know with which version it was compiled.
For example someone might just copy old pgRouting accidentally with a
database dump and functions might have conflicts with PostGIS for example.
But PostGIS doesn't do this either, right?

Indeed we could think about to add the version of Boost and CGAL. There are
no other dependencies at the moment.
I changed the function to return a table, so it's quite easy to add a cgal
and boost column actually.

With "git commit -a" staged files that have been modified and deleted get
included.
I usually didn't use "-a", so need to be more careful now when doing a
commit ;-)
