+Cross-test versions
+
+  Part of the regression suite should be making sure that we don't
+  break backwards compatibility: old clients vs new servers and so
+  on.  Ideally we would test the cross product of versions.  
+
+  It might be sufficient to test downloads from well-known public
+  rsync servers running different versions of rsync.  This will give
+  some testing and also be the most common case for having different
+  versions and not being able to upgrade.
