With the modprobe.conf that we used to ship with early modprobe failed to work.
An empty modprobe.conf makes modprobe work, but might cause issues with autoloading
of modules at boot time <= this needs to be checked and refined, maybe we need to
ship a saner modprobe.conf.

NAME
      version.sh - determine OpenSDE version information

SYNOPSIS
      version.sh [-fp]

DESCRIPTION
      The version.sh script determines OpenSDE version informations
      by first checking if dedicated VERSION files for the OpenSDE
      framework and the package tree do exist, for extracting the
      version strings out of the files. In the case a VERSION file
      does not exist or if it extracts an empty version string from
      the an existing VERSION file it will assign a default version.

      If the version strings of the framework and the package tree
      are not the same the returned version string will be composed
      out of framework and the package tree version strings delimited
      by an '-'. Otherwise it will only return the framework version
      string.

OPTIONS
      -f
              only return the version of the OpenSDE framework
      -p
              only return the version of the OpenSDE package tree
