pbxt version is not listed in show variables

[shinguz]

When running:

SHOW ENGINE PBXT STATUS\G
  Type: PBXT
  Name:
Status:
110215 20:25:41 PBXT 1.0.11-7 Pre-GA STATUS OUTPUT

you can find the version of the PBXT SE.

The output of SHOW ENGINE is difficult to parse for applications. IMHO thus this way of exposing information should be avoided.

Further MySQL and InnoDB/XtraDB are exposing this information with the following command:

SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE '%version%';
+-------------------------+---------------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+-------------------------+---------------------------------+
| innodb_version | 1.0.13-11.6 |
| version | 5.2.4-MariaDB-log |
+-------------------------+---------------------------------+

Thus I would like to have it similar to those:

SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE '%version%';
+-------------------------+---------------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+-------------------------+---------------------------------+
| pbxt_version | 1.0.11-7 |
+-------------------------+---------------------------------+
