Clean up VERSION output

[ektemple]

The output from the VERSION command includes a lot of stuff:

I'd like to see it trimmed down a bit. It would be nice to have all the Glimmr extensions encapsulated in one line, e.g. "Includes the Glimmr suite of extensions for graphics and animation." Unfortunately, this will require using specially edited versions of the extensions.

There are a couple of Kerkerkruip extensions that should probably not be in the list.

Everything else is OK, I think.

We could cheat and hand write the list of extensions. Would make it easier to sort them logically (alphabetically?) too. We can then add a note to the release protocol to check it's up to date before releasing.

[ektemple]

Yeah, that sounds good.

[VictorGijsbers]

I added authorial modesty to the two Kerkerkruip extension that did not make it into the list.

Is there a central Glimmer extension that needs to be included in all Glimmr projects? If so, you could add authorial modesty to all the other ones, Erik, and then the end result would probably be fine.

[ektemple]

That would work for this project, perhaps, but it's not the solution I would want to pursue for the wider Glimmr release, and I'd rather not fork the extensions for the sake of a single line.

I wish that Inform were more flexible with this credits stuff out of the box.

[curiousdannii]

I think we should just hand write the list. I also think it would make sense to unite this with the credits and copyright pages in the menu.

[curiousdannii]

I made a new credits/copyright page. What do you think?

[VictorGijsbers]

It looks good. Perhaps I'll make some tweaks if inspiration comes. :)

[curiousdannii]

Do we also want to do something to the VERSION command, or is the page in the menu sufficient? Should we redirect it to that page? (And also add a COPYRIGHT/LICENCE command?)

[ektemple]

I think we should redirect VERSION to your new page.

[curiousdannii]

The page is missing these lines, do we want to include them?

Identification number: //AC0DAF65-F40F-4A41-A4E4-50414F836E14//
Interpreter version 1.2.9 / VM 3.1.2 / Library serial number 080126

[VictorGijsbers]

I don't think we need them. The identification number can be read from the blorb by any software that is interested in it. I presume; and the interpreter version ... huh, I didn't even know that that could be shown in game? But I don't think it would be terribly relevant.
