+Beginning with version 0.4, Pure fully supports parallel installations of
+different versions of the interpreter without any further ado. To these ends,
+bin/pure, lib/libpure.so, lib/pure and man/man1/pure.1 are actually symbolic
+links to the current version (bin/pure-x.y, lib/libpure-x.y.so etc., where x.y
+is the version number). If you install a new version of the interpreter, the
+old version remains available as pure-x.y.
