Its redundant, but the existing code is well proven. It can be replaced
when
the replacement proves itself. Its basically a compromise to get the new
code
into 2.3 rather than pushing it out to 2.5.

OK. I'd only tested old binaries. The 3.1.3/4 source comes with its own
copy
of the header files, so it shouldn't see the new ones if you're recompiling
it.
