Yes, we chose 4.0 as the earliest compiler to support because it gave a good
feature set to base future code on (and so we wouldn't want to change the
version we depend on again for a while), while running on as many platforms as
(by now probably rather more than) any version 3.x compiler. At least that was
the theory for the choice, and nobody afaik has claimed/demonstrated anything
wrong with it.
Is there *any* platform where a 3.? compiler will run and a 4.? compiler won't?
