 Remember this is an Alpha version meaning it is not deeply tested and has a lot of things that doesn't work yet like all options and deep error checking.
 
 But if a proper Extversion cookie has been place in a file like:
 "�$EXTVER: programname version.revision (dd.mm.yyyy) comment�" 
 (with leading and trailing zero character, � is a zero character)
 
 it will find it with this command from shell like:
 1> extversion programname
 
 and output:
 programname version.revision (dd.mm.yyyy) comment
 
 So what is left (except fixing bugs):
 * implement some options
 * more error checking
 * tidy up the code (to meet some guidelines and make a few more code comments)
 * finish the documentation
 * possibly a simple installer
 * etc etc.
 
 Hint: You can test the extversion file on itself, it has the EXTVER tag, like:
 1> extversion extversion
