System Platform and MS SQL Server versions visible in Properties \ Detail tab of the *.cab galaxy backup file

Currently there is no straightforward way to find out the System Platform version and MS SQL Server version of the galaxy backup *.cab file.

There is workaround that allow to find out this information: change the *cab extension to *.zip, open it and read the System Platform version in the '__GalaxyInfo.txt' file and (via SQL scripting) also read the MS SQL Server version of the 'database.backup' file.

However this workaround consume some time and most important - is usually not known by engineers who have less experience with the product.

My idea is very simple and will save a lot of time and headaches - add the version of System Platform and the version of MS SQL Server used as the *cab file metadata, so it is immedietaly visible by looking at file Properties \ Details tab (example attached).
