Comment:

 We should not create globals with server version in.

 It encourages checks to be made that should be better made on
 capabilities.

 If we need a capabilite check like iis_supports_rewrites that could have
 to check a version but the version extraction should be encapsulated where
 it is used not stored in a global to encourage miss-use.
