IMHO, It should be enough with putting a note in the subtitle of the
tutorial that could say 'for gtkmm-2.4 API version $GTKMM_VERSION'.

In that way any distribution of the documentation will say explicitly
the version of the API that it refers (that should match the version
installed), and the version on the web will be the latest always (as it
is right now), and everyone will know that.
