compareVersion(versionSpec) : Number

Compare the version of Oolite to versionSpec, which may be either a string or an array (in the format given by version). If the current version of Oolite is less than versionSpec, -1 is returned. If the current version of Oolite is greater than versionSpec, 1 is returned. If they are equal, 0 is returned. Example:

if (oolite.compareVersion("1.80") < 0)
{
    // Oolite version is older than 1.80.
    Log("An old version of Oolite (" + oolite.versionString + ") is in use. Some features of SuperDuperOXP will not be available.")
}
else
{
    // Enable advanced features here.
