+# This script accepts a source file as input on the command line.
+#
+# It first loads the 'symbols-in-versions' document and stores a lookup
+# table for all known symbols for which version they were introduced.
+#
+# It then scans the given source file to dig up all symbols starting with CURL.
+# Finally, it sorts the internal list of found symbols (using the version
+# number as sort key) and then it outputs the most recent version number and
+# the symbols from that version that are used.
+#
+# Usage:
+#
+#    version-check.pl [source file]
