Before CVS tip, you don't.

[ thinks...]  Perhaps we could back-port the FSM changes into 7.3 ...
it would be a larger change than I'd usually consider reasonable for a
stable branch, though.  Particularly considering that it would be hard
to call it a bug fix.  By any sane definition this is a new feature,
and we have a policy against putting new features in stable branches.
