[resending since the first one went missed in action]

Hi all,

the patch creates a separate version.h file, which makes possible to
include in a project avio.h without to include before avformat.h.

Indeed avio.h uses the version number symbols defined in avformat.h,
creating a separate file for that fixes the issue.

I applied to the version.h header the same trick already applied to
pixfmt.h, that is the header is considered "internal but installed" as
claimed by the warning, so the user is not supposed to include
directly that file in her projects.

I think that's the way preferred by Michael, but I'll be happy to
change that (and bump minor) if we choose the other way.

If this is the way to go I'll post corresponding patches for the other
FFmpeg libs.

Regards.
