uname -r gives the version of the dll, not of any particular package,=20
and all of the various components are versioned independently. The=20
win32api is spread across several packages, and the recent update=20
changed the names, There is no api number advertised. You could check=20
the names of currently installed packages if you assume those names=20
won't change, but any such method is going to be fragile (and very=20
unsupported).
