What do you suggest instead? -v is what is commonly associated with version 
options in most programs.

See my mail. I stated that if the option is of interest, I may implement it in 
these other packages. This first patch was just an initial attempt. A 
version.h (though auto-generated as Stephen suggested) is still my choice. 
But I'll take a look about putting it in the Makefile. My main concern is 
being able to compile it from newrole (or whatever) directory, not from the 
top level one.
