Good work! I submitted a similar patch also.
For your patch I have one critique: the version sensitive code is
scattered all through describe.c. Are there opportunities to apply some
tests at a higher level (reducing the number of tests), or gather the
tests into an easily maintainable chunk?
The cleaner it is, the more likely future patchers will continue to
maintain compatibility.
