Hello,
 I'd like to override the default version string in order to print (in
addition to the default information), some other data, e.g., the
versions of the used libraries and features enabled.

I've currently tried to do that using a method similar to [0] for usage,
by un-defining the version from the .def file, and adding a custom flag
version. That unfortunately conflicts with autoconf's VERSION
definition, so it requires some special re-arrangement of headers, such
as moving the generated header over config.h.

The issues with this approach are that (1) optionPrintVersion() starts
with the name of the program but no version string (as the version
directive was removed), and it does exit after printing the version, so
the additional data can only precede the copyright string which is
pretty impractical. Is there a better way to achieve that functionality?

regards,
Nikos
