Those are tested combinations. 1.4.2 (which was the latest 1.4.x when I 
did the work) works reliably with 3.0.0, and is the first workable 
combination if you want to avoid the trunk/development revisions.

I'm prepared to say to people "you're going to have to build something 
from source, but it's no big deal". I'm not prepared to say to them 
"you're going to have to build from bleeding-edge sources, and there's a 
risk they won't work".
