I just meant a runtime check for the version of the library (i.e.
pa_get_library_version()). It's not actually important what version the
server is, so no need to connect to the server first.

But as Rémi pointed out, there is likely not much need to go into this
kind of detailed check and a built time check is probably sufficient.
