Get Item Versions by Item Id?

Question

I'm creating some reports using power shell. In one report, I get ItemId and SiteId, the ItemType is 'Document'. but, do not know which web it is in. How can I get the item's version?

It seems have to use $item.Versions ($item is the item in the list). However, in order to get the list, have to get the $web. then loop each list for each web to find the item by using the item id. Does this work? is there any simpler way?

thanks

$webs = $site.AllWebs
foreach ($web in $webs)
{
  foreach ($list in $web.Lists)
  {
    if($list.EnableVersioning)
    {
       get item from the list by item id
       if it is not null, then found the item
       ... do other work

    }
  }
}

I bet you can do something with SPSiteDataQuery class http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spsitedataquery.aspx

But I haven't tried converting this to PS.

Which item ID are you referring to? Is it the integer ID or the unique GUID ID? If it is just the integer ID then this is not unique enough to easily retrieve the item through ps/om. Do you have a URL?
