I guess not, but by printing out a warning 1000000000000000000000000000
times per build, it may encourage them to upgrade ;-)

I was originally going to do that, but then realized that he given patch
was easier to implement. I guess I can make a temp file that gets
deleted at the start of the build, and created the first time the
warning appears. Then the existence of that file will prevent other
warnings.

I'll play with this on Monday (if I remember ;-)
