 * Indeedeedoo. BTW, I can confirm that this works perfectly in the other
 * direction, too; I've upgraded my scratch box from 3.0-SNAP-980222 to
 * 3.0-CURRENT and "downgraded" it back to 2.2.7-STABLE with absolutely
 * no sign of trouble.

Be careful though.  I don't remember if there are currently any shared
library version differences between 2.2.7 and 3.0 (which of course
will cause your newly build 2.2.7 libraries to be very effectively
ignored), but some things in /usr/include that only exist in 3.0 will
cause some ports to mistake your OS version and blow up.
