OK, that makes a lot of sense.  Sorry if everyone else knew this, but
as I said earlier I'm not currently subscribed to the tech-pkg list.
My mistaken assumptions were based on my interpretation of comments
made by developers on other lists in the past.

In this case, the changes necessary to support 1.4.1 should also give
support for earlier releases.  So I'll go ahead and put together a
patch.

Thanks!
