I'm assuming you mean sample-config.php.
The code to do it would be something like
$HTTPHeaders[] = 'X-Generated-By: pmwiki-$Version';
Of course, I'm reasonably sure that Scott's original question was about
determining a pmwiki version in the absence of an administrator-configured
option, so leaving this off by default wouldn't help Scott's purpose much.
And after re-examining the available HTTP protocol headers we'll probably
leave such versioning information out of the system for a while.
