R devel - Oct 2004 - R CMD config --version

Am I missing something or is this a bug? I was expecting it to give the 
version of R, i.e. "R-2.0.0".

~:R CMD config --version
R configuration information retrieval script 1.3

How about something homegrown:

edd@homebud:~> R --version | head -1 | awk '{printf("%s-%s\n",
$1, $2)}'
R-2.0.0
