I don't know about version, but when I write a plugin that works with
another plugin, I check for the existence of a function or class
that's unique to that plugin.  Example: If you want to know if
Ultimate Tag Warrior is installed, you could do this:

if (class_exists('UltimateTagWarriorCore')) $utw_installed = true;
