I think we've been sending mixed messages.  Some people want to build on
Debian stable, which has seemed to work fine.  In this case I wasn't
sure when these interfaces were added: 7.0, 7.1, or what, and I was away
from the tubes when I was hacking (though I did have a 6.8 tarball).  So
I added this code.

In short, it doesn't much matter to me :)  We can program to the 7.x
interfaces, and if people want to use old buggy software, then we tell
them to upgrade.  But if it keeps working, no problem, right?

Dunno...
