There's no reason there can't be a static String OROVersion.getVersion()
in addition to a Version OROVersion.getVersion().  I just thought a generic
Version class has possible uses that we may not anticipate.  The average
ORO user would not ever need it.  But I can see some uses in dynamic loading
situations or in test applications or for Gump.  Mostly I don't like
locking functionality into static methods that might be reusable.  I
regret having made the org.apache.oro.regex.Util class final with a slew
of static methods.  In my view, singletons are more appropriate for
application level code than class libraries.
