Re: cryptic warning message

[Mats Bengtsson]

How about:
error: Input file written for LilyPond version 2.1.23, this is version 
2.2.0.
error: Use the convert-ly program to update the input file.


Is really the oldest_version variable updated regularly? Considering
the number of changes that convert-ly -s indicates between 2.1.25 and
2.2.0, it seems overly optimistic to claim that 2.2.0 can handle 2.1.25.
