Should hunktool.py learn how to extract version information?

[cmsj]

I've found it very useful to be able to recursively scan archives/directories/binaries with hunktool, but my purpose was to gather lots of version information.

To do this I hacked together a quick fork of hunktool.py which uses Python's re module to search for the $VER: cookie. It's not complete because it ignores part of the version string, but it was sufficient for my needs.

Is there any interest in having this polished up and made part of hunktool? (or a separate tool specifically for printing version strings).

You can see my hackfork at: https://github.com/cmsj/amitools/blob/e94cc3dacd8cc1a987101d34be23425a117210ba/amitools/tools/version_hunktool.py

I really like the new version command and I'd be interested in a pull request from you.
I'd suggest to extend the existing amitools/util/VertTag.py and add something like a find_all() to retrieve all tags. Then the hunktool only needs to call the functions from the amitools package. That's the approach I take for the command line tools.
