Description Aaron Plattner 2006-03-28 15:07:03 UTC 
A function for modules to query various ABI versions would be very helpful for
binary drivers that strive to support a range of server versions with a single
binary.  Right now, we (NVIDIA) have to use LoaderSymbol with various symbols to
determine which features are available.  This works fine for new symbols, but
doesn't work so well when structures or function prototypes are changed.

  Add a new export, LoaderGetABIVersion.  This function allows modules to query
  the versions directly instead of having to guess.
