Here's the problem.
The old tidy code defined tidyReleaseDate.
tidy-html5 defines tidyLibraryVersion and tidyReleaseDate, but they
claim that tidyReleaseDate is deprecated.  So I don't know how long that
will be available.
For now, tidy-html5 is a drop-in replacement for the original tidy, so I
suppose I could look at tidyReleaseDate to determine whether we're using
old tidy code.
A better solution would be to check at build time.
That's quite doable with cmake, and I'm starting to get a handle on how
to use it, so maybe that's the way to go.

That begs a question.  At some point, should we consider deprecating all
of our makefiles?
