The RNGE system has an auto update feature. An application launcher checks the Version Info data from each EXE against the configurations files on the server; if the versions are different, the launcher downloads the version from the server and overwrites the version on the client.
However this depends on Windows API in order to get the Version Info from the binaries, therefore a crossplatform solution is needed. Joran and fpcfan from #lazarus-ide channel (at Freenode) gave me the idea of using a POSIX compliant command-line argument: --version.

To my knowledge --version is not POSIX but a GNUism.
