I added MuTect support to @chapmanb bcbio-nextgen, and I'm doing checks on MuTect's version to ensure it is at least 1.1.5 (due to the infamous Java 7 issue), however MuTect reports the GATK version it was based on, rather than its actual version.
It would be nice to have --version report the actual MuTect version (also useful for debugging).
