        pkg-config --modversion mjpegtools
        1.7.0

        If the tools are installed but no pkgconfig file is found then it's
        likely to be the old version.

        Alternatively mplex's help option output can be used:

        mplex -h

        mjpegtools mplex-2 version 1.7.0 (2.2.3)
        Usage: mplex [params] -o <output filename pattern> <input file>...

        Probably best to use pnmtoy4m - and if that exists you're using 1.7.x
        or newer anyhow and don't need to bother checking the version :)
