 Replying to [comment:3 ohnobinki]:
 > Why should cryptopp clients need to know what variant of cryptopp is
 being talked to? Regardless of whether or not a variant is being talked
 to, the API/ABI/semantics should stay the same, shouldn't they?

 Like Jeffrey mentioned, this is mostly for humans to inspect. It can be
 useful to know the difference between "Crypto++ v6.0 with the first two
 Debian patches" vs. "Crypto++ v6.0 with one pycryptopp patch" vs.
 "Crypto++ v6.0 compiled from pristine upstream source".
