Description:
When posting bug reports, it would be nice to be able to quickly cut/paste the version.  most apps support a --version command line parameter.  

run app, Help, About, read version, type into bug report form - cumbersome, error prone and not always an option (like if the app segfaults along the way.)

carl@asus17:~/src/MySql/svn/mysql-workbench$ svnversion 
451

That might be useful too.  Not sure how to make it part of the build process.  

How to repeat:
carl@asus17:~/dev/op7/datamodel$ mysql-workbench  --version

Suggested fix:
print version to stdout and exit.

Thank you for a reasonable feature request.
