Hello everybody,

This adds the version string to zImage, it is referenced in multiboot header.
The string can be extracted later, for example  by the magic tool file.

Patch is attached, it builds and boots for me. I hope I did not break
anything.

putchar(b-1/(/*               gcc -o sig sig.c && ./sig    */b/42*2-3)*42);}
