from a filter, feels like a little overhead adding code
for a socket connection just to determine the version.

in perl, doable. in jscript/vbscript u cannot do sockets
without 3rd party software, however spawning a CTRLclient.exe
session would work, but not 100% available depending on setups.
(CTRL my be disabled)

a socket back-call as suggested per request is no-go in
my performance book. I guess I have to think up something
myself here then.
