Just compatibility.  The trick is that some of us are using a newer
distro (my case, Slackware64 14.1), while others are still on Ubuntu
12.04 (and one even on 10.xx).  The 10.xx has a kernel version of
2.6.35....

Eh, I need to stay with the current stuff as I have patches for some of
the various tools against 1.19.0.  So, this suggestion would not work
for me without OTHER serious work.
