I filed an issue for this very thing in Wget, and someone beat me to
implementing it (it'll be there in Wget 1.12). I would definitely
support this.
Vim also has a ":version" command that gives this info. It wouldn't be
terrible to have Screen's ":version" do this as well.

It's worth looking into, at the very least. Vim, of course, has Perl and
Python support (and perhaps others). I'm more familiar with Python than
Lua, myself. And, to be perverse, I might find a Haskell binding to be
useful.
