I haven't had a chance to exactly track the version history and because of not
being a copyright expert. Maybe:

	XC3SPROG (c) 2005-2010 xc3sprog project $Rev$ <OS>

Or whatever else. As long as I can easily distinguish that a user calls the
right program, it's ok.

How about turning off autodetection?

Current situation is that in ~90% cases user gets an error after running
xc3sprog without being guilty. Instead of:

	Could not access parallel device '/dev/parport0': No such file or directory     
	Could not open parallel port (null)                                         

It could be:

	No cable selected. You must use -c option. See xc3sprog -h for more help.

I have S3ESK board so far. I use its embedded USB JTAG cable with this
firmware:
