The \fIXGetExtensionVersion\fP request queries the version of the input 
extension, and returns an \fIXExtensionVersion\fP structure.  This structure
contains a major_version and minor_version number which can be compared
with constants defined in \fIXI.h\fP.  Support for additional protocol 
requests added to the input extension after its initial release is indicated
by a version number corresponding to the added requests.  Each version
contains all the protocol requests contained by previous versions.
