Executable files contain various printable information.
For instance, list of  used DLLs.

However those files contain neither compiler name nor compiler version.
It seems to be worth including something like "gcc version 3.3.1 (cygming special)" in executables.

Next question. Is it possible to add 'user related printable information' to executables (through compilation option or something
else)?
