At the bottom of this message is a patch for courier-0.45.4.20040411.
I'm sure that it will work in the newer release(s). It took 8 minutes
to write, test, and produce the patch, including my learning curve on
where to find the 'main' method and the version info for this
executable. Now, the following will work:
% ./courier --version
0.45
*** courier/courier.c.orig Tue Apr 20 09:51:31 2004
--- courier/courier.c Tue Apr 20 09:51:49 2004
***************
*** 31,36 ****
--- 31,42 ----
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
+ if (argc > 1 && strcmp(argv[1], "--version") == 0)
+ {
+ printf("%s\n", VERSION);
+ exit(0);
+ }
+
if (chdir(courierdir()))
{
perror("chdir");
