Could you at application start or some other point do (for the tags you want
to use)
<cfset isDbInfo = true />
<cftry>
<cfdbinfo ...>
<cfcatch type="any">
<cfset isDbInfo = false />
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
There are probably only a small number of tags that you want to use that
won't be in all versions.
Then you could say
<cfif isDbInfo>
And you don't need to code against specific products (assuming they all
catch).

Yeah, that's a good idea (and what I did in the first place),
unfortunately in CF8 there is a setting to turn off access to
coldfuion.* java objects, so I wanted to have preferential treatment
to the cfdbinfo tag, if it existed.
