Actually that should be fixable.

Should be as simple as using a Bourne shell script up front to check for "z$1" = zversion || "z$1" = z--version, and if so dump back the version, otherwise exec wish. This is actually quite easy and won't change things for existing users. I'll put a patch into maint tonight for it.
