I'm definately not a genius.

It would be consistent to add sip.SIP_VERSION, although it wouldn't be 
particularly useful. SIP v3 and v4 modules won't interoperate - they just 
wouldn't load. SIP v4 modules include versioning information and will issue 
error messages of incompatible versions are used.

That only leaves testing for particular features, but I always prefer to test 
for the feature itself rather than test for the version that is supposed to 
include the feature.
