Perhaps the error message is a bit misleading. The "default:" case is
for unsupported versions. E.g. if "VERSION 3" would have been provided
in the cfg file.
Should I rephrase the error message in the next patch version? To
something like this:
fprintf(stderr, "Unsupported VERSION %d\n", version);
Thanks,
Stefan
