Watching all this activity from Tom makes me wonder if we should have a quick 
discussion about how many years we should attempt to maintain compatibility 
with odd features / odd libraries via #ifdef's?

As in we have #ifdef's for various ImageMagick "oopses" so that we can work 
around problems in the library, but some of these are MANY years back.

My proposal is that we shoot for 5 years back. If a library has deprecated a 
function and a new one replaced it 5 or more years ago, we should be good to 
replace that section of code with the new function w/o maintaining backwards 
compatibility with the earlier function call.

Any takers on 5 years? Different suggestions?
