virtme-ng-init --version ?

[jimc]

[jimc@frodo virtme-ng.git]$ virtme/guest/bin/virtme-ng-init 
virtme-ng-init: must be run as PID 1

Could this invocation also report info, like --version might ?

Well... virtme-ng-init doesn't support command lines options (not yet at least), maybe we having --version could be useful to debug boot issues, so that we can check the exact version of virtme-ng-init that it's used. I'll add that to my todo list. Thanks!

it would be bells and whistles,
but a json dump to stdout,
with qemu / kvm version info as well,
would be slick.
And since PID != 1 ends abruptly,
it wouldnt break any existing behavior.
It doesnt actually need any --version option to do this.
