+Prototype::

+    \$result = versioncmp(a, b)
+
+    where a and b are arbitrary version strings
+
+This functions returns a number::
+
+    * > 0 if version a is greater than version b
+    * == 0 if both version are equals
+    * < 0 if version a is less than version b
+
+Example::
+
+    if versioncmp('2.6-1', '2.4.5') > 0 {
+        notify('2.6-1 is > than 2.4.5')
+    }
