That hasn't really been an issue lately.  A few versions ago, there
was a big change in the on-disk format, and I put in some code to
migrate the old information so nothing would be lost, and then removed
that code later.  So skipping the version in the middle could be
harmful.  I doubt there will be any more such changes, and if there
are, we can keep the migration code around longer.

See the variable nnmaildir-version (which could probably be removed
now, since nnmaildir is now in CVS).

Ah - is that simply pulled from the comment at the top of the file?  I
think I can take care of that.  I'm working on an addition to the
manual, too.
