A while ago I also had the proplem to print the current versionnumber of
gnustep. I am at present using
the NSCoder version...

NSCoder *coder = [[NSCoder alloc] init];
coderVersion = [coder systemVersion];
[coder release];

printf("GNUstep Version:
%d.%d.%d\n",coderVersion/10000,(coderVersion%10000)/100,(coderVersion%10000)%100);

This works pretty well, but having some methods for it would IMHO also be
nice.
