Thanks, pushed.
I really think that -V was the right pick since it's the usual flag for
this kind of informations, but since -v/--version was already used I had
no idea how to name the long option, especially starting with letter
v...
My earlier proposal was to make --version take an optional argument
(only the long option form; the short options -v and -V have no argument):
-v | --version[=short] program version
-V | --version=long version and full options
I can code that up, if you like the idea.
