Featurerequest: \contextversion

Featurerequest: \contextversion

[Jonas Stein]

It would be nice to have a command 

\contextversion
\luaversion
\pdftexversion

that prints the current context version numbers.
That could be a great deal for trouble shooting in the 
fast growing context world.

I could not find a similar command in the wiki.

Is that possible?

You can use

- \texenginename to get the name of the engine (e.g. LuaTeX)
- \texengineversion to get the version number of the engine (e.g. 0.64)
- \contextversion to get the version number of context (e.g. 2010.12.09 12:11)

nice... the wheel was invented but i did not find the manual ;-)
I suppose context can do everything but it is not verbous about its skills.

was it right to create the Reference page, or should the script
crate the empty reference pages and i fill them later?
