Ethan commented on WTR-458:
---------------------------
I think that programatically checking the version can be useful, in general
(not specifically to watir, but certainly applies). I've worked around bugs in
certain versions of libraries by checking version, for example. It's possible
to get the installed version via rubygems, but not really trivial. I think
having a version constant is useful.
> Watir version 1.6.6 doesn't show correct version number
