mod_include was completely refactored for 2.2 and changed its external API
(and ABI) during this step. The reason was, that the API before exposed too
many internal details, which made silent refactoring impossible. At this
point it was changed to fix these mistakes and go on with the refactoring :)

Anyway. The official way to determine such changes is the module magic number
in ap_mmn.h. There's a major MMN and a minor MMN. The major MMN bumps for
backward incompatiblity and the minor number for forward compatibility
(e.g. new functions).

And there you'll find:

 * 20030821 (2.1.0-dev) bumped mod_include's entire API

You can use the macros in ap_mmn.h to determine the version of the code.
