This raises an interesting problem in my fingerprint generation tool.

I have a version string which looks like

  OpenBabel-MACCS/1

The idea is that tools can do a string comparison of the version fields of two 
data sets and figure out if they are compatible. With this change I can bump up 
the version number to

  OpenBabel-MACCS/2

and I can autodetect the environment by doing a simple fingerprint generation 
and test for certain bits.

However, it would be nice if there was a way to query the fingerprint plugin to 
get a unique version number for it.

I'm also curious - is there a programmatic way from Python to get the list of 
available fingerprint plugins, and figure out how many bits they generate? For 
example, I don't see any way to find that FP2 generates 1021 bits.
