Haskell package version

Question

Is there a simple way of getting the version of the current package? I want to add a line like this at the beginning of main

putStrLn $ "MyFabApp, version " ++ show(version)

where version :: Data.Version

perfect, thanks - searching for 'haskell version' missed that one :\ – Rob Agar May 06 '11 at 23:37
