[Python-Dev] which sleepycat versions do we support in 2.3.* ?

Somebody just wrote to help at python.org asking for guidance in resolving some 
conflicts in comments in 2.3.2 files regarding sleepycat versions we support.

In Modules/Setup we say:
"""
The earliest supported version of that library is 3.0, the latest
supported version is 4.0 (4.1 is specifically not supported,
"""

In README we say:
"""
Only versions 3.1 through 4.1 of Sleepycat's libraries provide the 
necessary API
"""

In setup.py we say:
"""
The earliest supported version of that library is 3.1, the latest 
supported version is 4.2 ... 3.1 is only partially supported
"""

I believe that setup.py is accurate, README slightly out of date,
Modules/Setup way out of date -- but I thought that double
checking couldn't possibly hurt.  So, can I confirm this to the
help at python.org querant, and fix the comments in README (should
it say 3.1 through 4.2, or 3.2 through 4.2, given the "only partial support"
for 3.1?) and Modules/Setup (presumably with a pointer to setup.py)?
