Running an application will not work for cross compiling.
I don't think we have any find modules that actually build
something against the "found" library to detect its version.

If you can't get the version from pkgconfig I think leaving
it off is fine for now.  IMO the upstream should be fixed to
actually provide a meaningful version at compile time.
