- 3.x is supposed to be _binary_ compatible with 2.x programs, but as with
- 1.x->2.x won't be source code compatible. This means that apps which you
- don't have the source too are OK, but anything that you're gonna be
- recompiling might end up needing to be changed.

- This sorta forces developers to keep up to date, but allows users to run their
- same old proggies...
