No way to tell what version of Thrift libraries you have installed

                 Key: THRIFT-6
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-6
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Bryan Duxbury


Right now it's impossible to tell which version of Thrift you have installed. 
If you're depending on features that have recently been added (and that subtly 
don't exist), you can spend a lot of time chasing your tail trying to figure 
out what the problem is.

This may be something that has to be implemented piecemeal on each client 
library (ruby gem, java classes, etc). Thoughts?

While we're at it, let's add a --version switch or something to the compiler so 
you know what version of stuff you're actually generating.
