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.
