Ok, sounds good. But, again, what I need is the version of another 
program or library which cannot be executed, just read.

Let's put it in another way.
As Lazarus seems to glue the version information with the compiled 
result (as resource data), how can I retrieve this information from any 
other file ?

FPC and Lazarus WiKi do only talk about the compiled target, not how to 
extract resource data from other files. Of course, they have to be 
compiled with FPC.
