So it turned out that he didn't... Is this a sign that we need to
include a versioning symbol in SOs so we can give a nice clear error
message "module foo compiled for PostgreSQL 8.0.2 this is PostgreSQL

against an old version, are there cases where users can't recompile
their modules but the old ones would work?
