Only because that was the version I used regularly when I started 
writing this.  I plan to extend support to earlier Emacs versions in a 
future version of this package.  I'm just waiting on squaring away this 
first step before working on any updates. :)

I'm not quite sure what change you're looking for here.  Let's assume 
I've added an info node "(emacs)Window Tool Bar" that is also a function 
index for global-window-tool-bar-mode, where do you think I should 
mention this link?
