FreeBSD: /usr/share/misc/units.lib

My completion-fu sucks; how would this be able to detect automatically
something like FreeBSD units(1), which uses -v for the version:

----------------------------8< cut here >8------------------------------
% units -v

  units version 1.0  Copyright (c) 1993 by Adrian Mariano
                    This program may be freely distributed
usage: units [-f unitsfile] [-q] [-v] [from-unit to-unit]
