Please find attached a darcs patch that adds a simple
version check in the testsuite against libtest.dll. The
actual check itself is declared via another deftest
called dll.version.check. The version string is currently
"060209" and when that needs to be changed, you
need to edit bindings.lisp and libtest.c.

Since this is my first patch for CFFI and my first time
using darcs, please do point out any mistakes that
need to be corrected and I will be happy to do so.
