Well, in the mean time, here's a version in C. It's nothing special -
just something I hacked up because I was bored :)
It grabs the version info out of linux/version.h instead of the Makefile
as I couldn't be bothered making it open up the Makefile & read in the
desired values.
Feel free to do whatever you want with it :)

--Yeah, I should have used const char **'s for the strings, but for some reason gcc was seg. faulting on them and I couldn't be bothered finding out why. (gimme a break - it's 7:30am and I should be in.. what's that place called? bed - that's it...long time no see ;)
