Correct, but accessing this information at build time might still be
useful. Could config.h.in be updated to include this information in
addition to sword.pc? I have seen multiple libraries that will give defines
either the way you've specified it or by using SWORD_MAJOR_VERSION,
SWORD_MINOR_VERSION and SWORD_PATCH_VERSION. Then the information would be
available to anyone who included the header files.
