Ok.  The point being that we have a reasonable amount of code in the 
tree that works around features not present in earlier releases than 
4.3.

A lot of this code could now be ripped out, seeing as >= 4.3 is now 
required, and I'd suggest a specific OSVERSION check as early as 
possible to stave off the "I'm on <4.3, why did this port fail 
mysteriously" questions.
