>I'm not so sure [compatability is] so important in this case.

As I said before, I'm worried about externally-written programs,
particularly about externally-written programs that are not distributed
with source (like pathchar).

I'd also like to see a definitive way to tell which order the kernel is
expecting, so that externally-written programs that want to be portable
(like, for example, mrouted, mrinfo, mtrace, rsvpd, etc.) don't have to
use __FreeBSD_version.
