 Replying to [ticket:2804 alexbruy]:
 > Some users may have several GDAL installed, so it is usefull to show
 version of GDAL used by GDAL Tools plugin. Proposed patch add this info in
 About dialog. Also it fixes conversion GDAL version in string.
 Sure, it's a great idea!

 However I think we shouldn't pass the Gdal version as parameter to the
 doAbout dialog.
 About dialog can retrieve it using the GdalTools_utils module, so we
 maintain the same interface for all tools.

 In the attached patch there is also a cleanup converting GDAL version in
 string. If we want to use strings, we must use these everywhere in the
 Version class, otherwise the comparison may fail. e.g. ('2', 0) is not
 equal to ('2', '0')
