No, unfortunately.  A CVS checkout doesn't have a version number, and
this needs to work against CVS checkouts.  You might just check for
the presence or absence of an attribute in a try: except: (aka a
"capabilities check") rather than dispatching on a version number.

That would be "zopectl run".
