Description

The only way to detect installed Opus version without pkg-config (Windows platform) is parsing some version header and reading values from defines, e.g OPUS_VERSION_MAJOR, OPUS_VERSION_MAJOR etc.

So, can opus_version.h public header be added to libopus?

Research direction

Start by inspecting libopus's public headers and the existing version definitions, then trace how those headers are exposed in the build. Add the public opus_version.h header with the requested version macros, and verify that Windows users can read the installed version without pkg-config.
