Really, there isn't an agree about -v or -V to show version. A lot of
programs use -v (gconftool, gcc, gitps, ...), while others use -V
(gnome-system-log, gpart, grep, ...).

So I chose "-v" except for one, where "-v" was already choosen.

Comment #2 in GB#601799 was complaining about the lack of this option.

For me, this is the kind of option that I would expect in a program,
like "-?/-h/--help". In fact, they should be standardized :)
