well, 2.7.8 is latest, if we can support something older, I won't 
complain, as usually. Why do you think of "2.4.30" ? Why that version? I 
generally had some trouble looking at the documentation to check what 
was available when

I have tested on my older netbsd box, 2.6.29 and we don't compile

I have tested on my mingw box where I had 2.7.1 and we had errors too. 
So apparently currently we are compatible only with 2.7.8.

Also, when configuring with --disable-xml, we are not able to build 
anymore. SO some cleanup is needed there too.
