     Removing the database/version4 module would prevent users who have
upgraded to 5.1 from being able to read their old databases (even to
export them), so I won't be doing this.

     I'm aware of this as an issue; however, due to the design of Services
it's not easy to fix in the general case, so I don't know if I'll be able
to correct this for 5.1.  The workaround is to disable the HTTP server
modules before running ircservices -export.
