epan_get_version() is not good enough for your needs? It's a string,
which may be a problem. But you could parse it...

It'd be nice to have the equivalent of pcap_major_version() and
pcap_minor_version(), which return version numbers as integers. It would
be a nice, small addition to the libwireshark API that would come handy
for plugin dissector writers as well as for those using libwireshark in
their applications.
