Since build 10342 a file named VERSION.txt is distributed with CDDA precompiled binaries, so it could help to simplify getting version info for future CDDA versions.

The file format is the following (and can be changed if necessary):

Platform     : Linux_x64
Graphics     : Curses
Build number : #10341
Build version: 0.D-12395-gda46afc
Major version: 0.D

That's a nice addition. We might be able to speed up the version detection process when that file is present.
