I think the reason I took it out was because of the amount of code
it took to show correctly.  encoding has a lot of options, both
default and overrideable and they interact in complex ways.

lemme think how to handle it.  but saving the version and the full
command line is enough to figure out what options and defaults were
used to encode.
