Adding checks like that to the XFree86 CVS version isn't encouraged, because compatibility in that direction isn't guaranteed (and where do you draw the line with regard to making new driver modules work with old X servers and other modules?) The xf86GetModuleVersion() function was added after 4.2 to make this easier in other environments though. There's an example that uses it in the i810 driver in the DRI CVS, but I omitted that check for the version in the XFree86 CVS. Compatibility in the other direction is important though, and moving the new struct fields to the end should address that in this case.
