The mksh/kshMirBSD portable ksh version is available from the shell variable $KSH_VERSION.
This should be added to the lib/versions script in a suitably portable manner, and also support for /bin/mksh?
As this is on a Cygwin system, it is currently finding the mkshMS Windows manifest version instead, which is amusing, but not helpful.
This variable was found using strings /bin/ksh | grep -i version and confirmed from the command and man page.
$ /bin/ksh -c 'echo $KSH_VERSION'
