Delete the -V option. It serves no purpose but keeps confusing people.

Keeping track of the versions of installed software is the job of
the package manager, not of the individual binaries.  If individual
binaries include version numbers, that tends to goad people into
writing broken configuration tests that inspect version numbers
instead of properly testing for features.
