For the benefit of programs that just want to see if they can run, you might want an option to check whether a version of LSB is supported. (This probably means defining how to compare two versions to see if one is later than the other. Does the LSB already do that?) e.g. -c, --compare-version xxxx would print "Supported" and return zero status if xxxx was earlier than the version that -v returns, and would print "Not supported" if xxxx was later than the version that -v returns. - Dan -- Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem.
