Thanks Scott (& Thomas) for pointing out the embossversion program.

I would still question why the EMBOSS tools don't also support the
Unix convention of a version switch. Hypothetically, aren't some
(many?) of the tools standalone and couldn't they be installed
individually (e.g. as part of someone else's software bundle)? i.e.
Can EMBOSS really guarantee that the needle tool and the
embossversion tool are in sync?
