* Useful to check and match library version in order to maintain
* backward compatibility.
*
* The FFmpeg libraries follow a versioning sheme very similar to
* Semantic Versioning (http://semver.org/)
* The difference is that the component called PATCH is called MICRO in FFmpeg
* and its value is reset to 100 instead of 0 to keep it above or equal to 100.
* Also we do not increase MICRO for every bugfix or change in git master.
