I'm not sure if this is specific only to the `ssh-keygen`, but there seems no way of easily finding out its version from command line. Instead, one needs to check the version of the whole OpenSSH package.

Is it possible to introduce an option like `-version` or `--version` which would show the program's version (and possibly other information as well)? Most users are used to have such an option for many command line tools.
