On Ubuntu Dapper, gst-launch-0.8, gst-inspect-0.8 and others respond to the
--version option, but the -0.10 versions do not. It would be helpful to naive
users if they did so, as this is a common thing to try when trying to determine
which tool version is being used.

In this particular case, I was just trying to determine if gst-launch was
gst-launch-0.8 or gst-launch-0.10.

It would be fine if this were just a synonym for --gst-version, since the tools
are part of the library release.
