1# Computes the relationship between two version strings.  A version
2# string is a number delineated by '.'s such as 1.3.2 and 0.99.9.1.
3# You can feed version strings with different number of dot versions,
4# and the shorter version number will be padded with zeros: 9.2 <
5# 9.2.1 will actually compare 9.2.0 < 9.2.1.
6#
7# Input: a_in - value, not variable
8#        b_in - value, not variable
9#        result_out - variable with value:
10#                         -1 : a_in <  b_in
11#                          0 : a_in == b_in
12#                          1 : a_in >  b_in
13#        optional argument - TRUE or default FALSE:
14#              When passing 1.2.3 and 1.2 and this switch is on
15#              the function will actually compare 1.2 < 1.2
16#              Caution: Only the first string is adjusted!
