A patch is attached. Is this what you had in mind?
Do you have a good name for the new tab? Here are a few ideas:
Diagnostics
Extended Info
Build Info
Where do you want the tab placed? Currently it is at the end.
Note that when built with CMake the --version command does not give much output:
LyX 2.1.0dev (2011-04-29)
Built on Oct 3 2012, 05:31:04
CMake Build
Thanks,
Scott

Subject: [PATCH] Add tab with build information to Help > About LyX
The tab displays the same information as the 'lyx --version' command.
