 (I seem to have problem using the context.registerHelp() in a product's 
 __init__ method under Zope 2.1.6.)

Use version_txt:

  from App.version_txt import version_txt
  version_string = version_txt()

In CVS versions of Zope this will return '(unreleased version)' though.

You could also test for the existence of registerHelp:

  if hasattr(context, 'registerHelp'):
  context.registerHelp()
