I've done this, and tagged the result sla-2-5-1.
Pat, I've taken the liberty of adding two trivial subroutines sla_vers
and function sla_veri, which report the SLALIB version number as a
string and an integer respectively, as substituted into place from the
configure script. See
<http://cvsweb.starlink.ac.uk/cvsweb.cgi/libraries/sla/vers.f.in> for
example. I hope this is OK. Since these obviously don't exist in
previous versions, and since, as you remark, you're unlikely to be
making (m)any further changes to Fortran SLALIB, their utility is
rather limited, but I thought it might be worthwhile nonetheless.
I know you've expressed doubts about the value of such bookkeeping, but
I for one find it generally very handy to be able to verify absolutely
which version of a library one is linking against.
All the best,
Norman
