If we want to backport package.el to work in Emacs 23 then we should
probably keep the version number, but if we decide that's not worth it
then it could be dropped. I haven't looked into what's keeping it from
working on 23; I've just been pointing 23 users at an older version.
Would you like me to investigate to see how much it would take to make
it work?
