2.0.5 has been an "assigned number" by the time when i've started to
put the #ifdef's there -- remember, it has even been CVS tagged. The
error was to remove a CVS tag (which should IMHO never be done, even

If you use `cvs tag -d symbolic_tag...', the sym-

added. Warning: Be very certain of your ground
