I suspect the statement of "at least version 1.4" is true, but that 
requirement was created before I joined the project.  However, version 
1.3.1 is almost 10 years old -- it's worthwhile using something more 
recent if only for the quality of the rendering, if not outright API 
incompatibilities.

Mike
