print version string to stdout on --version

Browse source 
When running a *nix command from the prompt, and output is expected, that output should be sent to stdout, not stderr.  The --version option is such a case.  The outputted version string is not an indication of error or a diagnostic output; it is the expected output, thus should follow standard conventions and be output to stdout..
