What? No. We don't have any business assuming that the local 
administrator wants access_compat enabling, and there is no guarantee 
how long it will stay around anyway. It's a band-aid.

The real fix is the one-line change that I committed yesterday (sorry I 
couldn't mail then), and you've enhanced with version checks (thanks for 
that). Do we need to do anything else to be able to use IfVersion? I 
haven't checked.

Submitter: please check that the patch at the tip of SVN fixes the 
problem; if you need more detail please ask.
