 Let me go do some research and ask on the Unison mailing list and see what
 they say :)


 > My thought was just that if the client and server versions must match,
 then who's to say a user wouldn't have one server they need to communicate
 with that uses one version, and a different server that uses a different
 version? Thus they would need to have both versions of the client software
 on their computer installed at the same time.

 It's a good question - I've been avoiding that issue by punting
 (activating / deactivating the proper port)... but maybe it's a problem
 that needs to be solved.

 And maybe it makes sense to copy the route taken by python_select (??)
