Such questions are specific to whatever tool you're trying to determine the version of. Sometimes you can get the version of a tool by running a command on the command line. In that case you execute_process with whatever the tool requires and deal with the output however you like. You might, for instance, do a string(REGEX REPLACE ...) on the output. Sometimes the version of a tool is contained in a .h file. In that case you'd use try_compile and write some C preprocessor commands to capture the output.
