The version command just tells you the configuration with which hackt was compiled and installed. (All hackt binaries should print this version information with the -v flag.) The output may looks something like the following:

This information is especially useful for reporting bugs. A list of known successful configurations is in the top source directory's BUILDS file. Reports of new configurations are always welcome.
