The version_str handle is only there as a potential convenience for
users who need to figure out what their module can and cannot do. I
mentioned it in an article in LJ last year. It does not need to be
there for any tools to work right, and I do not think that anyone
really cares about it at this point, so I have no problem with just
ripping it out.
