[Developers] Patch: store the version of C/C++/Fortran compilers

[Tom Goodale]

Hi,

while this may be useful, it could be misleading, as if the version of the 
compiler changes on disk after the configuration is created, these version 
numbers would be wrong.

One possibly better solution would be to put commands which could 
determine the version of the compilers into the make.config.defn file, and 
then we could run them at compile time and store the info somewhere.
