Unless we're going to drop support for the old style GV options (potentially
shutting some folks out who haven't upgraded in years), we'll need to run
gv --version in order to figure the version out.  You could, of course,
always do something like "test for existence of gv, then run it to test version, and if it doesn't run assume it's the new version" or something like that.

Not as efficient, but what about just testing for existence of 'gv' and run gv --version at runtime before each time it is called.

gv is only used for printing, right? Shouldn't be too bad to make two calls.
