If the executable is named "arm-linux-androideabi-gcc", the code would currently call "arm-linux-androideabi-gcc --version". If that resulted in (for example) "arm-linux-androideabi-gcc (Some/Platform 4.5.2-1) 4.5.2", then the version string returned for regexp matching would be "arm-linux-androideabi-gcc 4.5.2".

While the patch was getting close to finished, if it seems like a useful idea to people, I could add a "--get-compiler-info" command to build_ext which would return the name of the active compiler, and the output of get_compiler_version().
