Excuse me, but we never assumed such.  

Neither too old nor too new ones are proven to work with us yet, so we
cannot be call them supported.

Let's apply your patch and see how well version 2.2 fares.

Thanks.

Hmm, I would have written:

	case "$..." in
        2.1 | 2.2 )

Is the reason why you have the asterisk there because the beta one claims
"2.2beta" or something (I am not suggesting to tighten the match, just
asking for information)?
