We can obtain the current lfs version by running

luatex '\directlua{tex.write(lfs._VERSION)}\bye' && open texput.pdf

Then we must remove texput.pdf and texput.log.
This is a bit cumbersome.

It would be great if this information could be in the credits:

luatex --credits
luajittex --credits

BTW, is lfs 1.8 planned in forthcoming? (1.7 does not play with windows very well)
