Conditional assembly based on version

There are lots of places in the code with conditional assembly based on the value of version, as if older versions of the module could still be produced from the latest code. What is the point of this, and does it need to be maintained going forwards? |

I’d guess it’s a leftover from pre-CVS times? When it would be useful to generate old versions from the same source. |

I’d tend to agree with James. It’s only present in the oldest source code, and I don’t see any reason to resurrect the practice when you can check out or diff specific old versions from CVS. |
