[Bf-python] Py_GetVersion() vs PY_VERSION

After upgrading to Python 2.5 here (as in compile from source), I
discovered I was getting this when Blender started:
Compiled with Python version 2.5 (.
This is because Blender's start-up message prints the first five char of
the Py_GetVersion(), which is this on my system:
>>> sys.version
'2.5 (r25:51908, Mar 20 2007, 14:50:59) \n[GCC 4.0.3 (Ubuntu
4.0.3-1ubuntu5)]'
I started making changes to only print up to the first space in the
string, but then thought "why don't we use the value of PY_VERSION
defined in Python.h?".
But I start to get confused; is the version check looking at the
*compiled function* or the *runtime library*? If it's the former, then
I think PY_VERSION should be OK. If it's the latter, then it's
obviously not (but then we should be testing for that compatibility
somewhere too).
