Sounds horribly weird. :o

But doesn't sound like a reason to have multiple ports for multiple versions
(which would be the only way to support having multiple versions installed from
ports/packages). After all, that's not a problem with backwards compatibility,
but indeed, as you say, with bugs.

But if things like this happen, providing a "portable" binary (statically
linked) for "rescue" purposes (probably outside of ports) sounds like a good
idea!

Thanks, looking forward to commit it!
