[erlang-questions] erlang version

I spend a good deal of time troubleshooting problems with our Erlang  
software at work. The current version reporting scheme makes it  
difficult to verify which OTP release (R11B, R12B-3, etc) is  
installed. "Unifying" the versions reported would definitely make my  
life easier.
