Doh!

gnatmake -v DOES show the version in the first output line.  It just 
then immediately follows it with all the Usage information.  And typing 
gnatmake alone shows all the Usage information.

As I simply saw all the Usage information scroll by when trying gnatmake 
-v, I didn't look it at closely enough, until after seeing Pascal's 
comment, to notice that the first non-blank line is in fact different. 
It's "GNATMAKE" followed by the version number, which is sufficent for 
my needs.

(Since I need to programatically invoke gnatmake, using that to as the 
source of the version is the most appropriate.)
