[Kst] Reverts, and 3.1

[Andrew Walker]

If HFI requires 3.1 support why are we discussing moving away from it?

We could always ensure that we are 3.1 compatible before a release, at any
other time we would not guarantee it, unless a specific request is made.

Not a terrible solution from my POV.  The problem is that it means that SVN is 
not necessarily 3.1 compatible at any given time.  There may be times when 
HFI needs to use the SVN version - so perhaps George will also need to have a 
3.1 conversion machine as well (one of the HFI machines remotely?) to back up 
Andrew.

In this case, we would accept fixable 3.1 UI file incompatibilities into SVN, 
but not 3.1 library incompatibilities.

Thoughts?
