Bug Description

There's no way of finding out which version of testdrive is installed, apart from via the package management tools (e.g. aptitude show testdrive)

It would be helpful if testdrive implemented a --version option to quickly confirm which version is currently installed, and optionally if it also printed out which virtualisation mechanism would be used (kvm, vbox, etc)
