Hard as it is to believe, the bash API is upward compatible between
versions 3.1 and 3.2 (I think this is the first time that's been the
case in about 7 years.) So yes, this release will work on both.

That said, it didn't necessarily mean it on either version of bash for
*cygwin*. :-)

I've just committed some changes to correct that.
