Add parameter --version to display the version number and then exit.
The version number should be something like this:

0.80 (github XXXXXX) - compiled DATE, hash YYYYYY
The 0.80 is just the value of VERSION (a #define), nothing special here.
the github version should display whatever we can generate at build time (I don't know what git can provide here so uniquely identify a specific release).
The compilation date
And finally a MD5 hash of the running binary

This will make our life a lot easier when dealing with reports from advanced users.

This seems easy to do for linux (lots of examples around) and not so sure about Windows (build with Visual Studio).
