Merci beaucoup, it works like a charm now.
I did not know CGAL_VERSION_NUMBER (I did not think about looking in the 
"preliminaries" section and was rather looking for some "support" section or 
something like that.)
Maybe it would that make sense to separate sub-sections 2.3 to 2.10 of the 
documentation into a separate section "MACRO-controls"
thanks again
