# This script (and the embedded C code) will check that the actual
# headers version match the user told us they were:
#
# - if both versions are the same, all is well.
#
# - if the actual headers are older than the user told us, this is
#   an error.
#
# - if the actual headers are more recent than the user told us, and
#   we are doing a strict check, then this is an error.
#
# - if the actual headers are more recent than the user told us, and
#   we are doing a loose check, then a warning is printed, but this is
#   not an error.
