So I am safe to assume that when I'll try to recompile the sources
there won't be some fuc*-up because of version mismatch? :-D

Actually it's pretty important information - When I return to school
I'll be propably upgrading our plan9 cpu/auth server (the proliant
box) while making it work at last :-) (Still can't get auth working so
I could drawterm inside...)

It would be interesting to see Plan9 as Xen3 guest... because I have
seen somewhere an "inofficial" linux/xen3 module named along the lines
of "nvidia-xen" :-D Since I can;t spare another machine at home, I'd
like not to loose hw accel on graphics (And no, it's not because of a
lot of pixels for desktop - actually my desktop works fine with low
footprint while looking IMHO better than Gnome/XGL :D)
