Perhaps Ugo might want to add this to the MAQ to get people to run it
before posting.

Note it will only print a version number if the module is installed, it
will skip it if no version number was reported. It was either do it this
way, or print a "missing" report for every module that is not present, even
if it isn't actually being used by this particular user (the SAVI and
ClamAV modules come to mind). I don't want to scare people into thinking
they have to install all sorts of other modules that they aren't even using.
