Peff's 'jk/reject-newer-extensions-in-v0' uses a bit refactored code to make it easier to add only-v1-and-later extensions while rejecting them, even if the code knows about them, in v0 repository. Even though the mechanism is a bit different, the spirit is quite the same as this step.

Please double check origin/seen:setup.c to see if I resolved textual conflicts in a sensible way.

Thanks.
