Once again this is more of a debian related patch what could break your logic
and is only intended to be used in the package. I tried to figure it out how to
determine the antlr version with the preprocessor but the version information is
useless (at least with my small knowledge)

To explain further our intentions. We don't want to link any peace of code by
bundled shlibs what we already have in debian. Then we'd have to link everything
statically what is not so good in finding bugs Since fixing a shlib package is
easier then fixing every package which bundles this shlib.
