Funny, I had written up almost exactly the same code, just a little  
rearranged.  I've modified mine to follow your use of -warn_version (I  
also had -throw_version as a synonym of -version, JIC).  Also, for the  
tests I created a temp class in the tests and ran tests off that.   
Thanks for the patch!
