Yes, generally backward compatibility is a good thing and I shall try
to follow it as far as I can.

However, FUSE is still young (only 3 years old), and I can imagine,
that there will come a time, (not too often) when it's better to break
the API than to carry a lot of compatibility cruft around. And in
that case the version is very useful.

Also it's useful to distingush the integrated version from the older
standalone versions.

Thanks,
Miklos
