Subject: referring to version numbers in a gem

How do I specify and access a gem's version number within the code of the
gem itself?  For example:

1. I write a library.
2. I write a command line utility that uses that library.
3. The utility uses OptionParser, with a --version option.
4. I package the things up inside a gem.

What's the best way to specify the version number and give the code
executed when the --version argument is supplied the ability to access
that version number?
