Add an option to ignore API version differences during comparisons
When comparing Apex, and other files with API versions the difference engine will mark any files with higher API version as "changed", even if the API version is the only change. This can be undesirable when there have been bulk updates to the API version that have not been made in the development environments. It would be great if the comparison engine could make it clearer when the only difference between two files is an API version (especially when the target is on a higher API version)

i'd love this, for clients who have sandboxes that never get refreshed (typically due to heavy external integration or data requirements) gearset is helpful for managing drift
but if we get off for a bit, a LOT of noise gets built that is just api version changes, it'd be helpful to pull out non-version changes
the "ignore xml reorder differences" thing i've seen around in cases is similar and is SOOOO helpful
big picture, if i have 6,000 changed items, how can i quickly figure out which matter, this is a first pass filter for me
