It's pretty much a necessity to use Python 2.2 for the new code base
anyway.  Keeping it backwards compatible with 2.1 would be a pain, and
given the small number of volunteer developers we've got, would
discourage development.  If it's really necessary to have a version of
Idlefork running on Python 2.1, perhaps a separate volunteer force can
work on a backport.  (But I warn you, it's more than changing // back
to /.)
