 First question: Do we want that `singular.version()` works? Currently, it
 fails when first called.

 Second question: Do we want that (at least by default) it returns a tuple
 of three or four numbers (three- resp four-digit vesion numbers), or do
 people like that the output of `singular.version()` (if it is called again
 after the initial error) returns a lengthy string with full information on
 the way Singular has been built?
