    Perhaps sane_init should ALWAYS refer to the distribution, and a new
    call could be added to deal with the versions within. At the minimum,
    I'd like backend/dll.c to return the MAJOR/MINOR/REV associated with
    the whole distribution instead of MAJOR/MINOR/0. (Did you notice that
    dll ignores specific backends return values, provided the MAJOR numbers
    match?)
