context has a -version option (like other tex executables) which does not
really give the information one would expect, but rather version
information about tex, web2c and kpathsea.

Nevertheless, especially for the rapidly developing context, that
information is of interest for developers.

I have attached a small perl script that gives real version information,
and I think that -version should give that information, too.
