Details:

Hi,

Couldn't find a way to find out the approx. version of the current 'master'
tree.

It's either 4.5.1 according to 'src/doc/screen.texinfo' or
v.4.2.1-822-gf0d6154 according to `git describe --tags`. Both are irrelevant
thus the bug.

This is useful, for example, to build a package like this one for Arch Linux:
