Duplicate code, will create a single get_version() function in
distutils.util and make both commands use it + deprecate
cygwinccompiler.get_version and emxccompiler.get_version

I am just responding so this will not show up on the 'unanswered issues' list.

[merwok]

Tarek, does this still apply?

[merwok]

This is done.

[merwok]

To be more precise: the duplication is still present (and harmless) in distutils but fixed in distutils2.

[jaraco]

This change didn't make it into Python 3.2 but is in 2.7. see bpo-19544 for details.

[jaraco]

emxccompiler is no longer present in Python 3.4, so this ticket has become invalid.
