[CMake] CC, CXX (& Fortran) compiler version - CMake macros wanted

[Ilias Miroslav]

Dear CMake experts,

I appreciate your efforts resulting into the introduction of the CMAKE_[C|CXX]_COMPILER_VERSION variables from  CMake version 2.8.10 
( http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2012-January/048596.html ).

However, I  would need also the CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER_VERSION variable. Likewise we are working with older versions of CMake.

For that reason I was searching for macros setting CMAKE_C_COMPILER_VERSION, but found none:
milias at ......fpv.umb.sk:~/work/programming/cmake_2.8.10.2/cmake-2.8.10.2/.grep CMAKE_C_COMPILER_VERSION * */* */*/*
Modules/CMakeCCompiler.cmake.in:set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER_VERSION "@CMAKE_C_COMPILER_VERSION@")
Modules/GenerateExportHeader.cmake:  elseif(CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUC AND CMAKE_C_COMPILER_VERSION VERSION_LESS "4.2")
Modules/Platform/Windows-MSVC.cmake:  if(CMAKE_C_COMPILER_VERSION)
Modules/Platform/Windows-MSVC.cmake:    set(_compiler_version ${CMAKE_C_COMPILER_VERSION})
Modules/Platform/Windows-wcl386.cmake:  if(CMAKE_C_COMPILER_VERSION)
Modules/Platform/Windows-wcl386.cmake:    set(_compiler_version ${CMAKE_C_COMPILER_VERSION})
Tests/SystemInformation/SystemInformation.in:CMAKE_C_COMPILER_VERSION == "${CMAKE_C_COMPILER_VERSION}"

Would it be possible to distribute also CMake source files which are  setting the MAKE_[C|CXX]_COMPILER_VERSION  variables ? I would like to use them as template for setting the CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER_VERSION variable.

Best, Miro
