it's up to martin to decide, of course, but I sure prefer if a program 1) makes
a reasonable attempt to run properly even if my configuration doesn't match
what the developer use, and 2) tells me as soon as possible if it finds that it
cannot run on my configuration.

(and yes, 2.1 and 2.2 are pretty common out there.  and 2.1/2.2 systems with
newer "altinstalled" interpreters are also pretty common.)
