[CMake] Getting the compiler version?

[Bartlett, Roscoe A]

Mike,

Thanks for the pointer.  We will look into this and try to create a module that other people could use also.  However, it would be good if we could get this added as an official CMake module that can be supported by a broader community.

Thanks,

- Ross
