FWIW, <http://www.cs.utah.edu/~eeide/emacs/emacs-vers.el.gz> provides one with
the following predicates:
emacs-type-eq
emacs-version= emacs-version> emacs-version>=
emacs-version/= emacs-version< emacs-version<=
emacs-minor-version= emacs-minor-version> emacs-minor-version>=
emacs-minor-version/= emacs-minor-version< emacs-minor-version<=
With compile-time inlining and optional compile-time evaluation to boot.
Eric.
