convenient than searching through the digital mars web site for predefined 
constants, then trying to figure out if those constants are defined or not 
by trying to compile a file with those version constants in it.  And this 
should be done in both D 1.0 and 2.0, as it doesn't affect the language.

BTW, if there is already some way to do this, please let me know :)

you still need to find the things to check but this will give you a yes no:

mixin(DefinedP!("ver123"));

template DefinedP(char[] ver)
{
   const char[] DefinedP = 
"version("~ver~"){pragma(msg,`+"~ver~"`)}else{pragma(msg,`-"~ver~"`)}";
}

This sort of thing would be really useful for generating a configure script.

I proposed this and more about a year ago:
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/42154.html

 And this should be done in both D 1.0 and 2.0, as it doesn't affect the 
 language.

You mean DMD 1.x and 2.x I presume.
